Departure from Laveissière (Cantal)
Although far less well-known than the Plomb du Cantal, the Puy Mary or the Puy Griou, the Puy de Peyre Arse is nonetheless the second-highest peak in the massif. Nor is it the easiest to reach. From the Font d’Alagnon, you must first head up towards the Col de Rombière, then go round the Puy Bataillouse to reach the Col de Cabre. It is from the latter that the ascent begins, first following the south-eastern ridge, then scrambling as best you can up the final few metres leading to the summit. The return route follows the opposite ridge to a small pass where you rejoin the GR®4, leading back to the Col de Rombière. After this, head towards the Col de Font de Cère for a change of scenery.
