Description
Parking au pied du plomb du cantal, belle randonnée ou VTT, pour les plus courageux faire le sommet pour le lever du soleil.
The Camper’s take
Asphalt parking at Prat de Bouc pass (1392 m), ideal base for hikes to Plomb du Cantal summit. Very quiet nights except summer peaks. Free public toilets and drinking water. Adjacent restaurant Le Buron serves good regional cuisine. Slightly sloped terrain with limited flat spots. Busy with day-trippers, empties at dusk.
Highlights
- Diverse and well-marked hiking trails (Plomb du Cantal, waterfalls, tracks)
- Very quiet nights once hikers have left
- Exceptional panoramic mountain views
- Quality restaurant with attentive service nearby
Good to know
- Slightly sloped terrain, wheel chocks recommended for optimal balance
- Intense daytime tourist influx in peak summer season
- Access limited for long vehicles (difficulty parking straight beyond 6.50 m)
- Strong winds at altitude, variable exposure depending on weather conditions
Motorhome access : Large asphalt parking but slightly sloped. Limited flat pitches, wheel chocks recommended. Maneuvering difficult for vehicles over 6.50 m long. Accessible year-round (snowplow passage in winter).
