About This Route
In the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, the D680 leaves Salers, a village of dark stone, and climbs through green pastures to the Pas de Peyrol (1,589 m), the highest road pass in the Massif Central, below the Puy Mary. The descent to Dienne and Murat crosses one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in France. Open from May to November.
