The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High-altitude wild parking (1600 m) on the slopes of Puy Violent with stunning panoramic views of Auvergne's volcanoes. Excellent starting point for hiking (1.5 hours). Access road is very narrow, winding and steep: not recommended for large motorhomes. Very quiet at night but busy during daytime. Uneven ground, very windy, no facilities. 4G mobile reception confirmed.
