Puy de Cacadogne, Volcanic peak in Massif Central, France
The Puy de Cacadogne reaches an elevation of 1784 meters and features steep slopes made of volcanic rocks that form distinctive ridges.
The geological formations of Puy de Cacadogne emerged from volcanic eruptions that occurred in the Massif Central millions of years ago.
Shepherds of the Massif Central traditionally use the slopes of Puy de Cacadogne as grazing grounds for their herds during summer months.
Reaching the summit requires a 6-hour hike from Chaudefour Valley, with substantial elevation gain and marked hiking trails.
The summit provides 360-degree views extending to the Puys chain, the Cantal mountains, and the Forez mountain range.
