Hiking departures from the campsite

Accessible to everyone, young and old, athletes or not, hiking is one of the best ways to discover the treasures of the Puy de Dôme! The Les Volcans campsite is particularly well located for all hikers: two long-distance hiking trails run alongside the campsite, and a third passes nearby:

  • The GR 4 , which crosses the central massif
  • The GR 441 , which allows to make the tour of the chain of the puys
  • The GR 30, which makes the tour of the lakes of Auvergne passing through the Sancy massif

 

You will therefore leave directly from the campsite for a large number of hikes, a real luxury of not having to take the car! Ask us for advice at the reception.


Many puys are accessible on foot from the campsite for outings of 45 minutes to a full day: puy de Combegrasse, puy de la Rodde, puy de Vichatel, puy de la Vache, puy de l'Enfer... For lake enthusiasts, it is also possible to reach them on foot or by mountain bike: Lac d'Aydat, Lac de Servière, Lac du Guéry...
