This handy guidebook offers the finest day walks in five different
areas of the Auvergne, an often-forgotten region in central France
perfect for accessible day walking in a unique and spectacular
landscape. Towns such as Vichy, Clermont-Ferrand and Puy-en-Velay
also offer delightful places to base yourself for that perfect
walking holiday. The ridges, rocky peaks and verdant valleys of the
Cantal supervolcano dominate south-western Auvergne. The centre of
the region hosts the unique chain of 'puys' with their pudding bowl
forms and the pristine crater lakes of the Sancy massif. In the
north, the Montagne Bourbonnaise preserves a pastoral way of life
which is quintessentially French while the Haute Loire's rivers and
medieval abbeys reward those venturing further off the beaten
track. Notes on the geology and history of points of interest
passed en route help you to get the most out of your explorations.
The 42 routes described range from easy to challenging and between
5 and 20km. All are illustrated with clear, original sketch maps
and colour photographs and all the information you need to plan
your trip is included, including a useful walker's glossary.
