Great way to get to Le Summit cafe but there's a way to go before you get to the top. Like, a lot of steep steps made for 180 x 180mm wooden sleepers, all similar colour so have to concentrate on where putting your feet to avoid missing the steps. And its very windy, as in don't get blown over the edge - really! And its cold - still snow the end of May. Views from the top are great, and be careful coming down those steps, possibly harder coming down.

3 minute trip to the top Pricey 17.9 adults , kids 12, but worth it Views are great It is usually a lot colder at the top... Actually snowed while at the top Take warm jacket

Quick way up. Buy single or return ticket at the station. Note there is payed parking.

Really fun cable car up to the top of Puy de Sancy. Amazing views the whole way up! It’s about an hour to walk down and if you’re capable I’d recommend it rather than taking the return journey.

Family of 3 generations went up to le Puy du Sancy after the cable car. Family ticket 2+2 cost 55euros, after purchase, automated service 😔another human job gone. However it was very organised, "man" on-board for door security boarding etc. Fortunate to have had a bright 🌞 morning, the mid afternoon not so good 🌧

The walking on the plateau is so varied and vivid that the téléphérique makes sense for hikers.

What a location! Went in summer so no snow, but still absolutely beautiful

Great views, the path is a bit steep and rocky.

Very nice view of a waterfall but very touristy. So many people, cars everywhere. We enjoyed the walk and the view very much despite the crowded company.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful walk, accessible with young children. Very shady areas. It's very cool when you reach the waterfall. (Original) Très belle balade accessible avec des enfants en bas âge. Endroits très ombragés. Grande fraîcheur à l’arrivée de la cascade.

(Translated by Google) Very small parking lot. Frozen path, making access difficult. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to walk the 1 km from the waterfall to the parking lot, but it was definitely worth the detour. Snowy forest, frozen vegetation at the foot of the waterfall, it was magnificent! (Original) Parking très petit. Chemin gelé donc difficile d'accès. 1h15 pour faire les 1 km qui sépare la cascade du parking mais ça vaut vraiment le détour. Forêt enneigée, végétation gelée au pied de la cascade, c'était magnifique !

Spectacular views, good area to ride a motorbike, well maintained roads.

(Translated by Google) I don't understand why there is a charge for parking (half day €4). Come early because it gets crowded. Beautiful hike, 360°C view. WC near the summit. (Original) Je ne comprends pas pourquoi le parking est payant (demi journée 4€). Venez tôt car il y a du monde. Belle randonnée, une vue à 360°C . WC à proximité du sommet.

(Translated by Google) We took the Sancy cable car. Go there because it’s a very beautiful walk! Arriving at the top, it is possible to eat and walk to the summit. We loved it! (Original) Nous avons pris le téléphérique du Sancy. Allez-y car c'est une très belle promenade ! Arrivé en haut il est possible de se restaurer et d'aller à pied jusqu'au sommet. Nous avons adoré !

(Translated by Google) Ample parking at the foot of the slopes. Use the Flowbird app to pay without waiting at parking meters. Price for 1/2 day or day. (Original) Vaste parking au pied des pistes. Privilegiez l'application Flowbird pour payer sans patienter aux horodateurs. Tarif 1/2 journée ou jour.

(Translated by Google) The Mont Dore Ski Resort Car Park welcomes visitors all year round. It is really located at the foot of the slopes. It allows you to park your car and take the cable car to go up to Puy de Ssncy. Close to the luge stadium, it is perfect with young children (Original) Le Parking de la Station de ski du Mont Dore accueille les visiteurs à toute saison. Il est vraiment situe au pied des pied des pistes. Il permet de poser sa voiture et de prendre le téléphérique pour monter au Puy de Ssncy. Proche du stade de luge, il est parfait avec de jeunes enfants

(Translated by Google) Paid parking without a parking meter...we put up a candle! More seriously, we could apply this everywhere...school, beach...when tourists go elsewhere you will see them less as cash cows....we pay for cable cars, restaurants, bars...already with a good heart! (Original) Parking payant sans horodateur...on a mis un cierge ! Plus serieusement on pourrait appliquer ca partout....ecole, plage...quand les touristes iront ailleurs vous les verrez moins comme des vaches a lait....on pait telepherique, resto, bar...deja de bon coeur !

Very beautiful spot. I would recommend hiking up to the top through the chaudefour valley. You need to be in a proper physical state, but it is definitely worth the effort. Breathtaking views and landscapes. On the top you can look over all of the surrounding landscapes.

Breathtaking scenery, can be very busy in August but still worth it. We went up in the morning before it got too hot, although there was a lovely cool breeze. panoramic views are amazing.

Fantastic hike to the top of Puy de Sancy! It is quite demanding and took us about 1.5h to reach the top on foot via the ski slopes. We went off season and the gondolas were not operating, but you can still go up on foot. The views are amazing all the way. There is a toilet at the hut just before the stairs to the top begin, it is open all hours, even off season. The trail up is steep, be aware of the loose rocks. But it is all so worth it! 🤩💪 PS. Parking seemed to be free off season.

Great hiking, summer and winter, with care.

Stunning view once you make it to the top. We were a little surprised by the difficulty of the hike. Bring good shoes and not sneakers :)

The highest point of the Massif central (1886m). Access by hiking or by cable car from Le Mont Dore station. Wonderful point of view over the French Massif Central and the related « Puys » (extinct volcanoes) for example the Puy de Dôme but also over the valley of Chaude Four.

Amazing 7 h loop hike. Would definitely do it again! 💖

It is still cold here at this lac.. Altitude is 1,200meter and this place is famous for ice fishing.

(Translated by Google) A lovely discovery. A lovely little walk to do around the lake with the family, about 4 to 5 km. The nature is superb. A well-maintained trail between forest and mountain pasture. Pleasant areas for picnics. At the finish, there's a small inn where you can have a drink and a delicious crêpe. Isn't life wonderful! You can continue your adventure to Puy-de-Sancy, not far away. (Original) Très jolie découverte. Une belle petite balade à faire, autour du lac, en famille, 4 à 5 km environ. La nature y est superbe.

A stop at the Auberge du Lac is recommended. (Original) Un beau lac avec un sentier permettant d'en faire le tour ( une partie en longeant la route). Abords bien aménagés avec de nombreuses passerelles. Passage à l'auberge du Lac recommandé.

Nice staff and they can talk in English which is a big plus. Very approachable and friendly.10/10 would ask again.

Very helpful and friendly staff. You can find there are a lot of useful information about visiting Lê Mont Dore and the Puy de Sancy.

The view is a blast, but the rest of the terra alta park is a little bit disappointing. Prices are low (about 18 € for a family of 5), but more would not be justified. Worth to visit if you are on a transit. Rest of the area is great.

(Translated by Google) The staff is friendly, the Terra Alta trail deserves some touch-up and upgrading, count on €20 for a family of 4 with 8 games (mini golf, marble circuit, wooden games, angling, turning everything upside down, crossbow shooting, lasso etc), footbridge route, audio animation and life-size animal statues, numerous viewpoints. A good idea to do with children before going to the lake. Allow 1h15/30 max. Parking and catering nearby. (Original) Le personnel est sympa, le sentier Terra Alta mérite quelques retouche et remise à niveau, comptez 20€ pour une famille de 4 avec 8 jeux (mini golf, circuit bille, jeux en bois, pêche à la ligne, chamboule tout, tir arbalète, lasso etc) , parcours passerelle , animation audio et animaux en statue tailles reelles, nombreux points de vue. Une bonne idée à faire avec des enfants avant d'aller au lac. Comptez 1h15/30 maxi. Parking et restauration à proximité.

Claire est passionnée et en même très à l'écoute de son groupe, ce qui est une qualité rare ! Plein d'anecdotes et de détails botaniques pendant 2 heures sur un site magnifique. Réussite totale !!!

(Translated by Google) Lovely nature guides. Very pleasant location in the middle of beautiful walks. The plant-based activities I enjoyed were very interesting. There's also a lovely, sheltered, self-service barbecue. I highly recommend it. (Original) Des animateurs nature adorables. Lieu très agréable au centre de belles promenades. Les animations sur les plantes dont j'ai profité, sont très intéressantes. Il y a aussi un beau barbecue abrité en libre service, Je recommande +++

(Translated by Google) We had a very pleasant stay in the Boreal Cabin. The place is very calm and rejuvenating. Everything is very well thought out to make the stay pleasant, rustic but comfortable. The night in the sofa beds was very suitable. There is a space provided for hot showers, clean and well maintained. We can charge our phones there and it's great. We will be back! (Original) Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans la cabane boréale. Le lieu est très calme et ressourçant.

(Translated by Google) From this spot, you can take a lovely 4km walk with the kids (the Gery Trail, which you can extend a bit on the blue trail). Our 4- and 6-year-olds really enjoyed it because the trail changes: pontoons, towards the watering hole, through the woods, etc. A must-do! However, you can't really enjoy the watering hole: swimming is prohibited. You can also do the Terra Alta trail with the family: 1km through the woods in the shade with wooden toys. A small guide helps you note the points. It's fun and enjoyable, even if the toys are sometimes a bit damaged... the price is a bit high, I think, but the family option is reasonable. It's a fun thing to do. The kids really enjoyed it. Parking: Paid (€4). No parking along the lake road. (Original) A partir de ce lieu, on peut faire une chouette balade de 4km avec les enfants (Sentier Gery qu'on peut prolonger un peu circuit bleu). Nos enfants de 4 et 6 ans ont bien apprécié car le sentier change : pontons, vers le point d'eau, sous bois,... a faire ! Par contre on ne peut pas vraiment profiter du point d'eau : Interdiction de se baigner. Possibilité de faire le circuit Terra Alta en famille : 1km sous les bois à l'ombre avec des jeux en bois. Un petit guide permet de noter les points. C'est rigolo et sympa.. même si les jeux sont parfois un peu abîmés...... le prix est légèrement élevé je trouve, mais la formule famille correcte. C'est sympa à faire. Les enfants ont bien aimé. Parking : payant (4 euros). Interdit de se garer le long de la route du lac.
