Mont-dore

Téléphérique du Sancy

The Sancy cable car is the fastest and easiest way to discover the Puy de Sancy, the highest volcano in France!
Embark on a vertiginous ascent of the Puy de Sancy, the highest peak in the Massif Central culminating at 1 m, aboard the cabins of the Sancy cable car which drop you off at an altitude of 886 m. Then, the ascent to the summit continues on foot (about 1 minutes) by a staircase. Once you arrive at your destination, you will discover a magnificent 790° panorama.

Also take the opportunity to take the various marked trails and discover the fauna and flora of the massif.

Summer or winter, let yourself be tempted by a gourmet break! “Le Sommet”, an altitude restaurant located at 1m, offers you, at the exit of the arrival station of the cable car, typical and gourmet dishes, to be enjoyed with a panoramic view.

Departure every 15 minutes depending on the number of people – cabin capacity: 45 places.
Sale of tickets on site or online (only in July / August).

Good deals, on sale from May to September, on site or at the tourist office:
