Puy d'Olloix

The Puy d'Olloix stands at 1002 meters elevation within the Chain of Puys, featuring steep slopes and rocky outcrops along its flanks.

The mountain formation dates back to the volcanic activity that shaped the Auvergne region, creating over one hundred volcanoes across 40 kilometers.

Local residents of Olloix maintain traditional practices of agriculture and grazing on the lower slopes of the mountain throughout generations.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails starting from the village of Olloix, with parking available near the church.

The mountain provides a natural observation point where visitors can identify multiple volcanic peaks of the Chain of Puys from its summit.
