Starting from the village of Laspeyras, you will be climbing up into the ‘Puy de Gaudy’. If you find the gradient rather gentle and steady-paced at first, when approaching the village of Bains, the climb will become somewhat more demanding, forcing you to dig deep into your remaining reserves to reach the summit. From here, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Monts d'Auvergne to the east: the ‘Chaîne des Dômes’ and the ‘Massif du Sancy’.
