Departure from Aydat (Puy-de-Dôme)
Go back 8,600 years, to the day when two young volcanoes were born, the Puys de la Vache and Lassolas. Their two lava flows joined together as they flowed eastwards and met the River Veyre. After a battle that was lost before it even began, the bubbling river was diverted eastwards, creating two lakes, Aydat and Cassière.

Circular route starting from the edge of Lake Aydat, climbing slightly to enjoy views of the Chaîne des Puys and the Sancy massif.
