The high plateaus of the Cézallier massif seduce lovers of the great wild spaces with pastures, valleys, streams and peatlands. The path opens the horizon to the volcanoes of the Puys chain, the Sancy and Cantal massifs. Starting point – Below the starting sign, take the road to Le Buffier. At the farm, go down and follow the path on the left. At the crow's feet, stay on the left until you reach an intersection. Turn right (PV1- view of the Forez, Devès and Margeride mountains).
