4 road cycling routes around the campsite
These road cycling routes start directly from Camping Les Volcans in Aydat (Puy-de-Dôme), at the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes. The roads of Puy de Dôme are conducive to beautiful bike rides, whether in sporty or tourist discovery mode. We offer you 3 circuits from the campsite (+ a bonus circuit) with varying degrees of difficulty but always with very beautiful views on the road.
Camping for cyclotourism in Auvergne: circuits from Camping Les Volcans
Circuit 1: Gorges de la Monne - Murol - Col de la Croix Morand and Col de Guéry
(77 km). Probably the most beautiful route offered but also the most sporting with 1305 m of elevation gain. The circuit will make you avoid most of the major roads but you will enjoy the most beautiful views of the area with as a bonus the Lake Guéry, the Roches Tuillières and Sanadoire, the Château de Murol...

Circuit 2: Gorges de la Monne - Heights of St-Nectaire - Lac d'Aydat (52km). A bike circuit that will make you alternate very different landscapes by taking almost only small quiet country roads. You will still have 850m of elevation gain to climb but on a fairly hilly and accessible route.

Route 3: Gorges de la Monne - Heights of St-Nectaire - Vernines (48km). A beautiful loop close to route 2 but skipping Lake Aydat. A bit shorter, this loop also offers a bit less elevation gain (767m D+) and offers you only quiet small roads with beautiful views along the route.

Bonus route: Loop of the Dômes (36km + 4km from the campsite). A signposted loop that joins Aydat, which then takes us near Lake Aydat, then to the beautiful village of Saint-Saturnin and the Gorges de la Monne. Except for one section on the departmental road, you will mainly be on quiet small roads.
