This part of the
Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region is overlooked by extinct volcanoes, the summits of which you can climb using the local hiking trails.
Of the Cantal mountains, we recommend the Puy Mary, the Puy Griou and the Plomb du Cantal. These three summits will not only offer you beautiful walks but also striking panoramic views once you arrive at the top. So don’t hesitate to visit and explore the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park. During your trip make sure to visit the pretty surrounding towns and villages, including the medieval village of Salers, Tournemire and the castle of Angony. Among the surrounding natural sites, do not miss the Truyères gorges, the perfect place for a kayaking trip and a picnic by the water. Finally, you could end your tour of Cantal by visiting Aurillac, a town with an important historical heritage and located at the very foot of the Monts du Cantal. To find your campsite in Cantal, you can go through our site and book your holiday directly there.
