From Puy Redon, a unique view of the Cal de Courre
From the start of the hike, the ascent of Puy Redon offers a glimpse of the wonders that await us. This summit, although more modest than its neighbours, already offers a breathtaking panoramic view. We contemplate the hilly landscape of the Val de Courre, with its green meadows and the ridges that surround it
The Pas de l'Ane, suspended between sky and earth
The path then continues towards the Pas de l'Ane, an essential stage of this magical walk. This narrow passage between the rocks transports us to another world, almost unreal. We feel suspended between heaven and earth, and vertigo awaits us when we cast a glance down. But the thrill of adrenaline is quickly replaced by wonder at the splendor of the landscapes before our eyes.
the majestic Puy de Sancy
Finally, the highlight of the show is at the top of the Puy de Sancy, the highest point of the Massif Central. From the top of its 1886 meters of altitude, it proudly dominates all the surrounding mountains. From there, a 360 degree view allows us to contemplate the Crêtes du Sancy in all their splendour. The summits point proudly towards the sky, while the valleys below are revealed in all their subtlety.

It is a grandiose spectacle that awaits us: sharp ridges that stretch as far as the eye can see, green valleys that contrast with the dark and steep rocks, crystalline streams that wind between the mountains. The magic of nature is at its height here, in this preserved setting where time seems to stand still.
A rich flora and fauna in the heart of the Massif du Sancy.
