A UNIQUE REGION TO DISCOVER…

Auvergne and its volcanoes

Clermont-Ferrand and the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park

Huttopia Royat campsite is just a short distance from the town centres of Royat and Clermont-Ferrand and just a stone’s throw from the untouched nature of Auvergne’s volcanoes. In just a few minutes, you can reach the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park, the largest of its kind in France. This immense territory, or “Volcanoes Park”, is marked by its volcanic history and by the omnipresence of water.

Mineral springs, natural lakes, whitewater rivers, waterfalls, peat bogs and wetlands all offer the chance to take advantage of natural swimming holes, just a few kilometres away from the campsite.
In the area around Huttopia Royat campsite, explore the dormant volcanoes of Puy de Dôme, Lemptégy and Puy Pariou. On foot, by bike or by car, it’s easy to gain altitude to gaze upon the area’s unique landscapes. A great choice when you want to cool down. In terms of culture, châteaux and listed villages are open to visitors all year long. Visit them for a trip back in time to gain a better understanding of the region’s traditions and know-how.

All aboard this panoramic train to reach the top of Puy de Dôme in a mere 15 minutes. This is the highest point amongst the volcanoes, from which you can marvel at the 360° views of the dormant volcanoes along the Chaîne des Puys volcanic range and the Limagne Fault tectonic arena. Truly unique!

Clermont Ferrand

4 km

This cultural and culinary town is well worth the trip. From Notre-Dame Cathedral, treat your eyes to the sight of typical narrow streets and fantastic eateries, following one after the other.
