How to get to the top of Puy de Dôme

The Mule Riders' Path
The Mule Riders' Path, used since Antiquity according to historians, allows you to reach the summit of Puy de Dôme. This path was used by travelers, merchants and muleteers to cross the Massif Central.
Two starting points are possible to reach the summit of the Puy de Dôme:
- From the Panoramique des Dômes car park: Travel 6 km on the Chemin des Muletiers to discover unique panoramas of the Puys mountain range and Clermont-Ferrand.
- From the Col de Ceyssat: Just 2 km from the summit, the Col de Ceyssat offers easier access with a reduced difference in altitude.
The Chemin des Chèvres
The start of the Chemin des Chèvres is also located at the departure station of the Panoramique des Dômes. This path crosses the meadows and the forest at the foot of the Puy de Dôme, offering a superb panorama of the Puy de Come, the Grand Suchet, the Petit Suchet and the Puy Pariou. To preserve the quality of the path, stairs have been built. The arrival at the summit ends by the old road.
