The must-see sites of Puy-de-Dôme
A little gem nestled in the heart of Auvergne, the Puy du Dôme promises you beautiful walks. Volcanoes, preserved valleys, villages full of history... Don't leave without seeing its must-see sites!
Culminating at 1,465 meters, it is one of the most famous in the Puys chain. To climb it, two options: the Panoramique des dômes (a rack railway) or the Muletiers trail.
An effort rewarded when you reach the summit, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding volcanoes and the Limagne plain.
You can also admire it from the Les Hirondelles hotel, located in Orcines, in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes.
This is the other emblematic volcano of the Puy de Dôme, 1,885 metres high. It is no coincidence that it is nicknamed the roof of Auvergne…
You reach the summit by cable car or on foot, for the more athletic. With a 360° view of the Puys mountain range, the Cézallier and the Cantal mountains as a gift.
An interactive adventure
The dedicated theme park takes you to discover volcanoes, natural phenomena and the solar system.
You will learn everything about eruptions, earthquakes and unravel the mysteries of the Earth.
The Château de Murol, perched on a volcanic peak, offers a panoramic view of the Massif du Sancy and the Chaudefour Valley from its 1,000 meters.
This 12th century castle is the 3rd most visited site in Auvergne! On the program: guided tours, historical reconstructions and entertainment.
Lovers of old stones will appreciate the charm of this town with its exceptional heritage. Between bourgeois residences, winegrowers' houses and cellars transformed into craftsmen's workshops.
To make the most of your stay, book one of the 30 rooms at our Les Hirondelles hotel, 20 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand.
