From the summit of Puy d'Ysson, there is a 360° panoramic view of the agricultural plains of Lembron.
A lovely walk through fields, villages and forests.

Hello,
Thanks for this hike.
We started at the end of the village of Solignat, parking at the end of the housing estate, which avoids going through the village and reduces the section on the road (our dog, a cocker spaniel, isn't a fan of walking on a leash).
The description is very clear. We didn't find the blue markings, but with the explanations and the route on Visorando, it's impossible to get lost.
The view of the Pic/Puy d'Ysson is magnificent and the walk back down is pleasant and easy.
Enjoy your hike!
Daniel

A beautiful route under bright sunshine overlooking the valleys shrouded in mist. The route was easy to follow with GPS. Best done when visibility is good, with 360° panoramic views.

A very beautiful walk enjoyed with the family in lovely weather. Although we were familiar with Puy d'Ysson, we lingered there to rediscover the landscapes and numerous timeless villages.
Thank you.

A beautiful hike, a bit steep at the start until you reach the peak. Magnificent 360° view and then very easy going.

A beautiful hike that is generally easy. The only slight downside is the descent down the stony path. 360-degree view from the top of Ysson Peak.
