Moderate
Departure from Orcines (Puy-de-Dôme)
Just above Clermont-Ferrand, the inescapable climb to Puy-de-Dôme through the col de Ceyssat is a short but intense hike with an astonishing view over Clermont-Ferrand, the chaîne des Puys, paragliders and Millevaches.
Caution, it's a very popular walk so be sure to do it during week days for a bit of peace and quiet.
La Pierra Menta and Lac d'Amour
5.79 mi
+2,943 ft
-2,923 ft

Difficult
Departure from Beaufort (Savoie) (Savoie)
Already offered in a (very) long version, this hike can be made a little more accessible to the general public. A hike in a splendid setting: the Roselend dam, the Pierra Menta, the Beaufortain, and a glimpse of Mont Blanc.
