The stonemason's hut - between basalt and granite

3h 50
Moderate
Departure from Saint-Babel (Puy-de-Dôme)
A superb walk between the old volcanoes of the Comté region to the crystalline base cut by the Saint-Yvoine horst, with exceptional panoramic views.
Saint-Babel Forest via the Borne des Quatre Seigneurs
6.29 mi
+1,224 ft
-1,204 ft

Moderate
Departure from Saint-Babel (Puy-de-Dôme)
A new walk that partly follows the route of the former municipal and ONF hike in the Saint-Babel forest. The new route extends into the municipalities of Yronde and Buron, passing through the Borne des Quatre Seigneurs, the Borne du Saut du Cheval and Fayet.
Currently, in 2026, I do not recommend this walk as the local paths and tracks are no longer maintained and are therefore dangerous.
