Mountain and winter sports Les volcans d'Auvergne

Launch yourself in a gigantic aerial course through the cirque of the Biche. The start is at the top of the cable car. The team remains friendly and is never far away in case of difficulty. 2,600 metres of zip lines, underground sledges, suspension bridges, via ferrata and jumps into the void follow. A path on the side allows the less adventurous to continue the course. These stages require a good physical condition, not to be prone to vertigo, and equipment.

In summer and winter alike, the Pertuyzat - Pavin ski area is constantly evolving. It now includes a play park, a Nordic site, a nature area and a regional restaurant. The playground features a secure net course where you can climb, slide and jump your way through a variety of challenges. This activity is a must for all the family to share a unique moment. A brand-new pumptrack is accessible by mountain bike. It features a succession of bumps and turns for maximum technique and adventure. Hiking is also on offer.

In winter, the 76 km Nordic ski area is marked out, some by cross-country skiers and others by snowshoers. The scenery is magnificent, and some itineraries offer a view of Lac Pavin. Free-access trails are reserved for sledges.

Don't have the right equipment? Don't worry, Fond/VTT Evasion rents out cross-country skis, skating skis and snowshoes in winter, and DH, cross-country and electric mountain bikes in summer.

Throughout the day, the La Table du Grand Duc restaurant welcomes sports enthusiasts young and old. On the menu are platters of local charcuterie and cheeses, soups, salads, burgers, truffade, dishes of the day... and in the afternoon, sweet treats include crêpes, waffles and more. Everything you need for a great time in the fresh air, in a unique setting.
