Puy de la Tourte

The Puy de la Tourte reaches an elevation of 1704 meters and features slopes covered with trachytic rocks forming distinct Massif Central relief patterns.

The geological structures of Puy de la Tourte emerged from volcanic eruptions that shaped the Massif Central region millions of years ago.

Hikers ascending Puy de la Tourte follow the traditional paths once used by local shepherds who grazed their flocks on these mountain slopes.

The summit can be reached through a marked trail from Pas de Peyrol, with a moderate elevation gain requiring approximately thirty minutes of hiking.

The peak serves as a launch point for paragliding activities, providing favorable wind conditions above the Falgoux valley throughout the year.
