A hiking path right on the doorstep, setting off onto a waymarked trail accessible directly from the chalets, no car needed. You'll appreciate the discreet local biodiversity (salamanders, hedgehogs, common toads, common frogs and the chirping of various songbirds (Eurasian nuthatch, Eurasian siskin, goldfinches, red kite, not forgetting the hooting of the Tawny Owl at nightfall, a regular here). In Autumn, connoisseurs who respect nature will delight in ceps, chanterelles, hedgehog mushrooms and more in the Cantal forest. For the luckiest, the majestic bellowing of the stag, which was exceptional in 2024 and 2025. The Cantal also means perched villages full of character, such as the villages of Salers and Tournemire. A little further afield, the Monts du Cantal remain a must (Le Puy Mary, a Grand Site de France with an exceptional panoramic view), then enjoy a local speciality, La Truffade, in a buron in Salers.
