Banne d'Ordanche, Volcanic peak in Puy-de-Dôme, France.
The Banne d'Ordanche rises to 1512 meters, featuring distinct geological formations and an orientation table at its summit for landscape interpretation.
The mountain served as a glider airfield from 1931, with the first flight taking off on May 26th, marking the beginning of French gliding activities.
The name Banne originates from Auvergnat language, meaning horn, which reflects the mountain's pointed shape in the local dialect.
Access to the summit is available through wooden stairs from Col de Guéry, with designated parking areas and marked trails for visitors.
The mountain formed through strombolian volcanic activity 2 million years ago, creating deposits of trachyandesite that shaped its current structure.
