Puy de Lassolas, Extinct volcano in Puy-de-Dôme, France.
The Puy de Lassolas reaches an elevation of 1187 meters and consists primarily of basalt rock formations within the Chaîne des Puys mountain range.
The volcanic formation occurred approximately 10,700 years ago through a Peléan eruption, contributing to the creation of Lake Cassière and Lake Aydat.
The mountain name derives from Occitan language where L'Assolelhat refers to a sun-exposed geographical formation in the regional vocabulary.
Visitors access the volcano through marked hiking trails that connect to the surrounding natural areas within the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park.
The lava flows from Puy de Lassolas created natural dams across valleys, resulting in the formation of multiple lakes in the surrounding landscape.
