Roc d'Hozières

This phonolite dome rises to 1,614 meters above sea level, featuring steep walls that dominate the Mars valley near Puy Mary mountain.

The volcanic formation of Roc d'Hozières dates back 6 million years, when intense geological activity shaped the entire Cantal mountain range.

Local mountaineers established multiple climbing routes on its faces, including the 260-meter Bulle d'Hozières, the longest climbing path in Auvergne.

The GR400 hiking trail passes along the western slope of the mountain, providing access points for both climbers and hikers throughout the year.

The summit stands between the communes of Fau and Falgoux, offering climbing routes with difficulty ratings ranging from 4b to 5c on its phonolite walls.
