## About Le Mont-Dore

Le Mont-Dore is a Belle-Époque spa town at the foot of the Puy de Sancy, the highest point of the Massif Central at 1,886 m. A cable car climbs from the valley to near the summit.

The thermal establishment is a grand nineteenth-century building still in use, and the town has a character that its ski-area size would not otherwise support.

## Where lessons start

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I get to Le Mont-Dore by train?

Yes — the town has its own railway station, and Clermont-Ferrand is about 45 minutes by road. The cable car climbs from the valley towards the summit of the Puy de Sancy, and the pass is shared with Super-Besse on the other side.
