GR®441 Chaîne des Puys Loop (Puy-de-Dôme)

The GR441 offers a unique geological immersion into the heart of a group of 80 volcanoes with varied shapes: domes, craters, and cinder cones. The trail crosses lands shaped by pastoralism and the quarrying of volcanic stone, Volvic lava, which has forged the region's architectural identity, with its villages of dark stone and traditional bread ovens. Hikers pass from wooded domes to vast high-altitude pastures, known as "estives," where Salers cows still graze. Nature shelters flora specific to basaltic soils and a rich fauna, including birds of prey such as the red kite. The visual highlight remains the constant view of the majestic Puy de Dôme, the giant of the range, which dominates this volcanic alignment unique in Europe.
