Introductory botanical outing, not an advanced course.
Description
Around the puy de Louchadière, north of the Chaîne des Puys, your mountain guide will show you a typical plant landscape and introduce you to plant recognition and their various uses.
Immerse yourself in the world of plants and learn about common plants and their various uses. We'll also explain the links between man and the plant world, and how they have shaped the landscapes of the Chaîne des Puys - faille de Limagne over the centuries!
The puy de Louchadière is one of the largest slag cones in the Chaîne des Puys, reaching an altitude of 1,198m. Another special feature is its superb beech forest. An outing in a wooded atmosphere offers a diversity of plant specimens.
This is an introductory botanical outing, not an advanced one.
