Chopine and Gouttes puys, Twin volcanic peaks in Puy-de-Dôme, France
The Puys Chopine et des Gouttes reach an elevation of 1181 meters and feature two connected craters formed through volcanic activity.
The volcanic formations emerged millions of years ago during periods of intense geological activity in the Auvergne region of central France.
Scientists and geologists regularly conduct research at these peaks to study volcanic phenomena and contribute to understanding regional geological formations.
A 6-kilometer marked trail leads visitors through the site, with blue markers guiding hikers along a path that takes about 2 hours to complete.
The peaks contain significant deposits of trachyte, a light-colored volcanic rock that characterizes their geological composition.
