Things to do in Auvergne: find what to do near you
You're looking for things to do in Auvergne: we've kept 346 places, sorted by hand and 317 hikes with a GPX track, from the volcanoes of Puy-de-Dôme to the gorges of Haute-Loire. Some of these places have been visited by the team; the others were vetted on paper, with what we know about price, time needed and access. Tell us what you're looking for and where you're setting off from, and we'll take you to the right list. The rest happens outdoors, boots on.

How we choose
We don't list everything. Some addresses are visited by the team, the others are vetted on paper, and what we don't know stays off the page: no rough prices, no opening hours from memory. When an address closes or changes, tell us and we'll fix it.
