GR® 4 : De la Méditerranée à l’Atlantique

The GR® 4 runs from Grasse (Alpes-Maritimes) to Royan (Charente-Maritime). The 150km route crosses 13 départements, including the Puy-de-Dôme.

This section of the GR® 4 crosses the Puy-de-Dôme from north to south, skirting the Monts Dore and Monts Dômes before joining the Sioule and finally ending at Crocq in the Creuse.

Lakes, volcanoes, nature reserves, ancient or medieval architecture – the variety of landscapes in the Puy-de-Dôme will leave you breathless during this 8-day hike! You’ll cross wild, unspoilt landscapes rich in geological history and civilisation, surrounded by exceptional flora and fauna.

The GR® 4 requires at least two months to complete in its entirety, taking in a remarkable natural heritage such as the Verdon gorges, the Ventoux massif, the Ardèche gorges, the Cantal volcanoes and the Auvergne lakes.
