Hiking departures from the campsite

Accessible to all, young and old, athletes or not, hiking is one of the best ways to discover the treasures of Puy de Dôme! The Volcano Camping is particularly well-located for all hikers: two long-distance hiking trails run along the campsite:

  • The GR 4 , which crosses the Massif Central
  • The GR 441 , which allows you to tour the chain of puys

 

You can therefore leave directly from the campsite for a large number of hikes, a real luxury not to have 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...
