Petit Suchet, Dormant volcano in Orcines, France
Located in the Chaîne des Puys mountain range, Petit Suchet reaches an elevation of 1,198 meters above sea level and features wooded slopes.
During the Gallo-Roman period and early Middle Ages, trachyte quarries on Petit Suchet provided important construction materials for local buildings.
The mountain forms part of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park, representing the geological heritage of central France's volcanic formations.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the GR 4 and GR 441 long-distance paths, leading visitors to both the summit and the notch between Grand and Petit Suchet.
The domite composition of Petit Suchet contains higher concentrations of feldspar and amphibole compared to neighboring Puy de Dôme's volcanic structure.
