Family activities in the heart of the Sancy Massif
From Le Clos Auvergnat, give your children unforgettable outdoor memories in the heart of the Sancy Massif. With marked hiking trails, swimming in mountain lakes, and outdoor games, Tauves and its surrounding area offer a pristine and exceptional playground for young and old alike. Here is a selection of our top 3 picks for experiencing Auvergne as a family.
Lake Chambon – Swimming and Water Sports for the Whole Family
Just 45 minutes from Le Clos Auvergnat, Lake Chambon and its two supervised beaches offer the perfect setting for swimming, paddleboarding, or canoeing. Lake de la Tour d’Auvergne is also 8 km away.


Murol Castle
This is the favorite attraction for kids (and adults alike). This fortified castle overlooks the entire valley and transports you right back to the Middle Ages. In the summer, the jousting shows and guided tours led by costumed guides are exceptionally well done. It’s so lively, you really feel like you’re there, and the view from the ramparts is superb.
Mont-Dore Adventures – Tree Climbing
Just 30 minutes from Le Clos Auvergnat, in the centuries-old Capucin Forest, Mont-Dore Aventures offers 8 courses suitable for everyone ages 3 and up: zip lines, suspension bridges, and thrills guaranteed for the whole family.
