Stiff but short climb ... Superb views and scenery but crowdy at the top most of the time Good for the exercise. There is a train for thos who dont want to walk. Going up walking is like 1 hour and a half. Beautifull nature. On the top, the view is incredible. There is a small museum. There are parachutes so you can had that adventure for 100 euros but, you have to reserve before going up. There are some cafés and rest also. Not so cheap. Low cloud on our visit but views still fabulous. Train up and down expensive...46 euros two adults and two dogs...you pay for dogs!! Take a packed lunch as cafe also expensive. Nice walk. We began at the train station up to the summit, 1h30 for climbing. Difficult at the last minute but it worth it! Definitely worth it. I highly recommend it. The scenic view is amazing and the views are incredible. Great walk up to the top. We parked in the bottom car park which was 1h30 to the top. Started in lovely sunshine and ended up in rain clouds... But still worth the walk. Not for the faint hearted it is a 'proper' walk to the top but absolutely worth it. If you come to Clermont Ferrand, visiting the Puy de Dôme is one of the 4 things I advise you to do; The other things are: - going to plateau de gergovie - having a dinner at the restaurant 1513 - if you like hiking/ outdoor activities go the "vallée de chaudefour"= beautifull landscape What a great place to spent a couple of days walking biking and learning. Once at the top of Puy de Dome there are many placards explaining about volcanoes and the history of the area. Very interesting reading. In the afternoon the other volcanoes are great for biking down too! There are pathways everywhere so find your own peaceful path or join the crowds up Puy de Dome! Fantastic view, absolutely worth to visit Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
