At the Puy du Rocher, it seems that nature goes above the Vassivière lake.
If the Puy Lagarde, with its 795m height, is the highest summit of the Millevaches Plateau, the Puy Rocher, which overlooks the Vassivière lake, is part of the highest summits of the county. Starting at the Nergout port, this trail, steep at the beginning, goes gradually up to 767m. Once at the summit, the Puy Rocher offers a breathtaking panorama of the whole North-East of Vassivière lake. To preserve this exceptional surroundings, the Puy Rocher became a grazing area in 2013. The plateau’s farmers hand over their cattle to sheperds who lead the animals, up to 200, around the lake in order to maintain the land.
