CA08 - Cantal mountains

Self-guided tour in Auvergne (france) in Massif Central on the ridges of Cantal mountains. 8-day circular hiking tour around Murat via the main summits and typical small villages

Twenty million years ago, the Cantal Mountains were nothing more than a 3000 meter-high volcano of a 20-kilometer diameter. Liquid and viscous lavas spouted out from several vents. The glaciers of the Quaternary period and the numerous streams levelled off the mountain, shaped its sides, cleared out the sides of the old vents (such as the Puy Riou) and carved out creeks and valleys to give us the marvellous scenery of this hike.You will walk up to the top of the main summits, discover some beautiful valleys where are nestled small pictural villages leaving in accordance with seasons.
