Puy de Gudette, Volcanic summit in Aubrac, France
Puy de Gudette reaches an altitude of 1,427 meters and features a basaltic formation typical of the Massif Central, with slopes shaped by glacial erosion.
The summit stands as evidence of intense volcanic activity that marked the region 7 million years ago, creating a 300-meter thick layer of basalt.
The pastures surrounding Puy de Gudette contain traditional burons, stone huts where shepherds historically produced Aubrac cheese during summer months.
Access to the summit starts at the Buron de Canuc parking area at 1,343 meters, followed by a walk through pastures to reach the highest point.
A geodesic marker identifies the summit of Puy de Gudette, providing hikers with orientation points and views across three departments: Cantal, Aveyron, and Lozère.
