Route description

In the Puy-de-Dôme region, this itinerary pays tribute to the beauty of the volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys – Limagne fault, with over 200 kilometers of marked trails and some of the most beautiful stages of the GTMC.

The stages and connections allow you to enjoy a wild, unspoilt nature, but also an exceptionally rich heritage and know-how.

The route is mythical, the promise of adventure is not empty, and the GTMC’s Auvergne sector, with its volcanic temperament, takes on the air of a challenge.
