A pretty, varied loop through forests and mountain pastures, with beautiful views of the Puy de Sancy, La Banne d’Ordanche and the Haute Dordogne valley.

On this itinerary, you’ll pass by the reconstruction of a tra.
Tras were temporary dwellings, used for summer pastures before the advent of burons. Very little remains of these little-known constructions. The Auvergna’ttitude collective of guides, with the support of the DRAC, is passionately committed to reconstructing an Auvergnat tra on this site.
