LE MONTROGNON
A puy culminating at 699 metres, with views over Clermont-Ferrand, Ceyrat, the Gergovie plateau and the Chaîne des Puys.
Situated between Ceyrat and Romagnat, this peak rises to 699 meters and takes its name from the Latin mons rugosus, meaning "rough mountain". A feudal castle was erected here in 1190 by Robert I, dauphin of Auvergne. All that remains today is a vestige of the keep. Its steep slopes, popular with runners, are home to many orchids. The view from the summit is breathtaking, offering a 360° panorama of Clermont-Ferrand, Ceyrat, the Gergovie plateau and the Chaîne des Puys. The trail also takes in the Tranchère mill.

Bien que courte, elle est assez pentue et les quelques mètres de la fin sont dans la rocaille et reste glissant quelque soit la saison...
En haut, on découvre les restes d'un donjon et surtout une vue panoramique sur la région...
À faire sans hésitation....
