February 2022 - after a long drive from Chauvet we arrived late at night and parked our camper at a local tourist office. The next morning the Landscape was covered slighlty in snow. We drove to the valley station of Chaine de Puy and my daughter and me took the train on to the top. The volcanic snow-covered landscape was just gorgeous from up here.  We could als spot the black Notre Dame du Port built from local volcanic stone. On top we still took the chance to get our hands into the snow. As it was colder than anticipated, took the trainride right down again.

The visit in winter is definitely special and to recommend. We continued our drive to Vichy after that.
