Overview
A little bit longer than the most popular route from Mont-Dore but easy to walk with the interesting visit to the ridge of Puy Ferrand. As well you can take a cable-way but it reachs the bottom of Puy de la Perdrix.Getting There
See the main page to approach to the ski-resort of Super-Besse.Route Description
Puy Ferrand
Puy de la Perdrix
Puy GrosYou begin in Super-Besse behind of Lac des Hermines (1.356m) walking near of Bois de la Biche (right) and the ski-lift (left). You reach croix de Saignavoux (1554m) with interesting landscape following the piste and the GR4 to Col de Cuhay (1.685m). You have now two options (I sugere the first to ascent and the second to descent):
A)-You leave the GR4-GR30 turning to right (NE) to the end of the piste in the Telecabine de la Perdix. Behind the hut of ski-lift you get the path going to left to reach the pre-summit of Puy de la Perdix with a table of orientation and the summit of Puy de la Perdix (1.824m) with another one table. You descent to the col with Puy Ferrand and you reach a new crosspath signalling to left as Puy de Sancy. You have the option to take to right a narrow path in the spun to reach Puy Ferrand (1.854m) or you can follow the signal. In both cases you reach col de la Cabanne (1.785m) without problems and the access to the final path to the summit.
B)-The shorter route is to follow the paint of GR4 to a small col (1.710m) between Puy Gros (1.793m) and Puy Ferrand (1.854m). In this point you have a very wide path to the nice summit of Puy Gros (1.793m) on left side crossing near of the famous three rocks called "le trois filles" (three daughters). The path reachs the important col de la cabanne (1.785m) and the access to the summit.
