Volcanic landscape and nature in the Bave Valley

At Montfouat, the landscape is shaped by a heavily eroded volcano and basaltic rock formations. From the highest point of Montfouat, distant views extend towards Livradois, Cantal and the Parc Naturel des Volcans d’Auvergne. The landscape areas mentioned form part of the wider panorama and excursion context and are not automatically part of the municipality of Autrac.

The Bave Valley, which passes through the commune, contains a protected natural area. With a little luck, you may be able to observe otters, crayfish, wild trout and migrating birds of prey there, among other species.

Choose accommodation according to your travel plans

Autrac is particularly suitable as a base when landscapes, observing nature and a rural setting are more important than a wide range of services directly in the village. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Autrac, the desired proximity to the landscape and nature experiences described above is especially relevant as a selection criterion.

Regional orientation and arrival

If you also want to explore the wider landscape areas around the Cézallier, Cantal and Livradois from Autrac, you should view the accommodation as a regional base rather than a location for all of the landscapes mentioned. You should consider the specific location of the accommodation and the planned route as separate points when planning your journey.
