Puy Redon is a volcanic summit in the Puy-de-Dôme department, rising as part of the larger Massif Central range. The mountain features multiple descents and terrain options that appeal to skiers of different skill levels.
The mountain was formed during the Tertiary period through volcanic activity that shaped the geological landscape. This volcanic past became the foundation for the region's development as a winter sports destination.
The mountain features several named couloirs, including the Collangettes route, which received its name from mountaineer Denis Collangettes.
The best time to visit is during the ski season when lifts and access routes are operational. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions and bring appropriate gear for their intended activity.
The mountain is known for its steep off-piste descents, particularly through named couloirs such as the Y couloir. This challenging route features a narrow passage that drops into a valley below.
