The most beautiful panoramas of the Gorges de la Loire reveal themselves through at orientation tables positioned throughout the territory. Some of them rise to more than 900 meters above sea level and offer sublime views of the surrounding nature.
Let's discover the viewpoints on the wild Loire, the volcanoes of Haute-Loire, Mont Mézenc, the Pic du Lizieux, the entire line of Sucs Yssingelais to the south and north, Lake Grangent, its steep rocks, its castles and villages overlooking and in the distance, the Monts du Forez.
The panoramas on the Haute-Loire side “Land of volcanoes”
Open your eyes, inhale, exhale and admire a line of volcanoes and mountains as far as the eye can see ! A dazzling nature of green, orange-red, or white depending on the season.
Auvergne and its magnificent puys are known throughout the world. The volcanoes of Haute-Loire called “sucs” are certainly less famous, but they delight geologists and lovers of atypical landscapes. With us, no trace of craters or violent explosions, but all ua myriad of strange rounded-topped volcanoes which gives an infinite softness to the landscapes. Unique impression of observing a giant molehill covered with lush vegetation!
Our orientation tables are exceptional spots to understand and admire this Haute-Loire of magmas, crossed by the long blue ribbons of the Loire river and its many rivers which delight nature lovers!
The icing on the cake: on a clear day, to the east, the chain of the Alps comes to refine the decor!
The most beautiful views towards Lac de Grangent
Here the river continues in meanders and steep hillsides and the views towards the Loire gorges offer exceptional spots in all seasons. The most surprising viewpoints are undoubtedly those overlooking Grangent Island. Formerly perched 50 m above the ground, before the construction of the dam and the raising of the water level, the Grangent castle and chapel now seem to float in the middle of the lake.
