Educational trips
Volcanoes and heritage
At the doorstep of Le Clos Auvergnat, set out to discover a land shaped by fire. Dive into Earth's history at Vulcania, explore an ancient open-air volcano at the Lemptégy volcano, then climb the puy de Dôme, a jewel of the UNESCO-listed Chaîne des Puys. Finally, let yourself be captivated by the landscapes of the Massif du Sancy, a paradise for hiking in summer and for snowy delights in winter.
A stay centered on history and heritage
Let yourself be transported through the centuries by exceptional heritage. Relive medieval times at the Château de Murol, a spectacular fortress brought to life by its knights, then discover the peasant life of yesteryear at the Maison de La Toinette. Marvel at the elegance of the Château de La Batisse and its remarkable gardens, before finding a moment of peace in the Basilique Notre-Dame d’Orcival, a jewel of Auvergne Romanesque art. A journey through time where every stone bears witness to a rich heritage.
Water and nature stay
Between crystal-clear waters and snow-capped peaks: nature with a thousand faces
During your discovery trips, offer your students a striking natural spectacle by exploring the famous waterfalls of the region, such as those in Volvic or the Massif du Sancy. These sites are open-air laboratories for understanding the water cycle, the force of erosion, and the purity of volcanic springs. It is a refreshing immersion where local biodiversity is revealed on every path.
But the journey doesn't stop when the snow melts! In winter, Le Clos Auvergnat becomes the ideal base camp to discover the joys of the mountains in the Mont-Dore resort. Just a few kilometers away, your classes can take part in snow activities : downhill skiing, snowshoeing, or mountain safety workshops. Whether it's to study the mysteries of water or to live the adventure of a winter school trip in Auvergne, our region offers a dynamic and educational setting throughout the year.
