The department of Cantal
The CantalThe Cantal is known as one of the wildest mountain ranges in France. It can be discovered both in summer (with its many hiking trails) and in winter (through its many winter sports activities such as alpine skiing, ski touring, Nordic skiing, hok skiing, dog sledding and ski joëring…) thanks to the many leisure activities it offers. The relief of the Cantaloften called « the country of great spaces » with plateaus gigantic and many valleys, are suitable for the scenery and escape.
Indeed, in winter, this volcanic Mountainous offers weather conditions close to those elsewhere far away: The snow froze into dunes and the landscapes resemble the Arctic and the large remote areas of Spitsbergen.
