Téléphérique du puy de Sancy

The facility, registered in the general inventory of French cultural heritage, represents the connection between modern transportation and traditional mountain exploration.

The cabins accommodate 45 passengers, departing every 15 minutes, with tickets available on-site or online during July and August for single or return journeys.
