About this place
Nestled in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park, Pas de Peyrol is the highest mountain pass in France's Massif Central, reaching an altitude of 1,589 meters.
Located at the foot of the majestic Puy Mary, a UNESCO-listed Grand Site de France, it offers breathtaking panoramic views over ancient volcanic landscapes.
The pass is a popular starting point for hikes, especially the short climb to the summit of Puy Mary, where visitors are rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views.
In summer, the lush green valleys and dramatic volcanic peaks create unforgettable scenery, while in winter the area transforms into a peaceful snow-covered landscape.
The winding roads leading to the pass are also a favorite among motorcyclists and road cyclists.
If you're exploring the Cantal region, Pas de Peyrol is an iconic stop that perfectly showcases the wild beauty and volcanic heritage of central France.
