Do you know why this establishment is so dark?
This is because it was built in andesite stone, magmatic rock, present in massifs of volcanic origin. From the outside, the neo-classical building has 1 austere architecture as it is so simple and refined: on the first 2 levels, 1 colonnade of semicircular arches, surmounted by 3 pediment-gables (characteristic of the Belle Epoque architecture).

Magnificent panorama on the glacial Valleys and the sharp Crests as well as on the volcanic Massifs of Cantal, the Chaine des Puys, Mézenc and on the Forez.
With favorable weather, it is even possible to observe the Alpine massif!
Formerly, we called Puy de Sancy, Puy de la Croix because 1 iron cross was at the top. We used to make a pilgrimage there in May to seek good weather.
The parish of Saint-Donat went there on August 6, Saint Sixt's day, quickly deformed in Sancy.
The Puy de Sancy remains, despite its mountain air, 1 real volcano. At the top, no crater,
it's 1 strato-volcano. Very complex system, 1 strato-volcano consists of several volcanoes nested in each other and whose eruption phases are not simultaneous.
Eruptive mouths sprang from lavas of different compositions and aspects, which partly explains the great variety of landscapes.
The Monts Dore volcanic massif, of which the Puy de Sancy is the highest point, began its formation 5 million years ago, and ended around 250,000 years ago.
As shown by studies carried out in the 18th century, the Massif du Sancy was built in several phases of activity alternating with long phases of rest.
There are all types of eruptive activities known in the world, hence a wide variety of rocks and materials. The last ice age, dating back 13,000 years, was shaped by the action of glaciers, shaping the large radiant valleys around the massif: the Chaudefour, Fontaine Salée and Haute Dordogne valleys. The end of this period is marked by 1 new volcanic episode causing the formation of cones and lakes. Among these, Lac Pavin results from 1 eruption dating back only 6,900 years, the most recent in mainland France.
- Easy access by cable car from the foot of Puy de Sancy, after the climb, 1 wooden staircase (864 steps), allows you to reach the summit of the volcano in 20 minutes. There you will find 1 orientation and landscape reading table.
- On foot, from the car park at the foot of Puy de Sancy, count around 3:30 round trip (7km) with 500m drop, 2 trails allow access to the summit.
- Possibility of a longer hike by reaching the summit via the ridges (6h), departure from the Grande Cascade (in downtown Mont-Dore) and return via the Salon du Capucin.
Specific recommendations:
For the ascent of Puy de Sancy, bring hiking boots. Be careful not to venture on this route in stormy weather.
In spring, access to hiking trails on the Puy de Sancy and the ridges is very difficult. Be careful. Do not hesitate to contact the Peloton de Gendarmerie en Montagne du Mont-Dore on 04 73 65 04 06 before climbing the Puy de Sancy.
