Puy Ferrand, Mountain summit in Puy-de-Dôme, France
Located in the Chaîne des Puys volcanic range, Puy Ferrand reaches an elevation of 1854 meters, offering views across the Auvergne landscape.
The adjacent Puy-de-Dôme volcano has been dormant for 8,600 years and was an important religious site during the Gallo-Roman period.
The mountain forms part of the Chaîne des Puys UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized in 2018 for its exceptional geological formations.
Two marked hiking paths lead to the summit: the Chemin des Chèvres and the Sentier des Muletiers, both connecting to the GR 4 trail.
The mountain serves as a departure point for paragliding flights, with thermal conditions allowing extended periods of free flight over the volcanic chain.
