The Puy de Dôme aboard the Panoramique des Dômes.
Make the most of your visit to the summit of the highest volcano in the Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Description

Journey to the highest volcano in the Chaîne des Puys.

Climb aboard the electric cogwheel train and relive the history of the Puy de Dôme through audio content.

A mecca for green tourism, the puy de Dôme offers an exceptional panorama of the volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys and the Faille de Limagne. Of the 80 volcanoes listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, only Puy de Dôme is accessible to the general public, thanks to the Panoramique des Dômes electric rack-and-pinion train, which takes you to an altitude of 1,465 metres in 15 minutes, offering a remarkable view of this unique geological site.

The shuttle bus P36 will take you directly to the Panoramique des Domes train station.

With family or friends, enjoy a unique experience and discover the Puy de Dôme in a different way every season!
