Puy de Sancy
Mont-Dore
"crazy wind, still it was breathtaking and challenging"
"Bring good shoes and not sneakers"
Chaudefour valley approach is most rewarding
Strap on snowshoes and circle the perfectly round crater of Lac Pavin before climbing to the summit of Puy de Montchal for sweeping views of the Massif Central. The volcanic terrain is dramatic, the silence is deep, and the descent feels like a reward.
