Puy de Massebœuf, Mountain summit in Cantal, France.
The Puy de Massebœuf rises to 1,395 meters within the Monts du Cantal mountain range, offering views over the valleys of Alagnon and Cère.
During the 19th century, workers from across Europe spent years constructing France's first road tunnel beneath the Puy de Massebœuf mountain, setting a world record for length.
The mountain slopes witness seasonal activities, with winter sports at Le Lioran resort and summer grazing of traditional Auvergne cattle in alpine meadows.
Visitors can reach the summit via two chairlifts: Prairie des Sagnes from the resort center or Massebœuf departing from Font d'Alagnon station.
The mountain houses three tunnels at different elevations: the original historic road passage, the highest railway tunnel in France, and a modern road tunnel from 2007.
