Don’t be scared! Today, Tino and I are taking you on a tour of a volcano crater. You can even take a dip in the lake that has formed inside it. Don’t worry, the volcano has been dormant for 40,000 years…
– Volcanic lake.
– View of the Chaîne des Puys
Étape 1 : From the start sign at the end of the parking lot, take the chemin du lac. Take the left-hand path along the edge of the gour (sign evoking the legend of the gour de Tazenat), (view of the gour). At the entrance to a large property, continue along the track opposite until you reach the road. Go straight on, passing an information panel (view of the Chaîne des Puys). Follow the main path to a road.
Étape 2 : Take the road to the right and continue to the intersection after the maison blanche. Leaving the reservoir road, turn right immediately onto the track which leads down through the woods to the intersection at the first houses of a hamlet.
Étape 3 : Take the right-hand path down to a wooden fence on the right, cross it and continue along the path to the edge of the gour. Turn left and walk alongside the gour. When you reach the houses, turn left and return to the starting point.
