From the Bade plateau to the Châteaugay hillsides
Description
A long, easy walk between the wild, unspoilt plateaus of La Bade and Champ Griaud.
This is where Auvergne's vineyards have survived, as evidenced by the many plots still in use and the astonishing cellar district at Châteaugay. A route that offers great views over the town and surrounding mountains.
Start: Place Ballofy, Blanzat, direction "Les Mauvaises" / place du Général Charles-de-Gaulle, Châteaugay
Difficulty: Ascent from Blanzat to Plateau de la Bade
Suitable for all seasons. Disregard the crosses indicating the wrong direction, which are not part of the Clermont Communauté itineraries.
