Treasure hunt: "The Secret of the Dome
Psite set
Le Secret du Dôme is a family treasure hunt on the summit of the puy de Dôme! This fun and original trail will enable you to learn more about the history of the puy de Dôme, this atypical volcano and emblem of the département. It's aimed at families, with an accessible level for ages 6 and up. Some puzzles are more difficult than others, so parents can join in too. It lasts around 1h30 (including the time it takes to get off the train) over a distance of 1.3 km. Stroller and PRM access. Fully stroller-accessible, but with a staircase to descend for the orange riddle. For PRMs, there's a second path to avoid the stairs, which will make the hunt a little longer.
