In February, we're already starting to plan our next winter vacation! So are you more of a breath of fresh air or cozy activities by the fire? Authentic villages, comforting dishes and breathtaking views... Come get some fresh air, enjoy the sleeping nature and end your day in front of a good fire. We have everything you need in Puy-en-Velay and its surroundings!
1
Enjoy snow activities
Looking to enjoy some snow activities? It's the perfect time of year to head to our highest peaks and their Nordic ski areas, such as Meygal or Mézenc . Just a 30-minute drive from Le Puy-en-Velay , you can enjoy downhill skiing, snowkiting spots, snowshoeing trails, or even tobogganing with Lugik Parc!

Discover the heritage of Puy-en-Velay
Would you like to (re)discover the medieval city of Puy-en-Velay during the February holidays? Everything is possible here! Go up to the statue of Our Lady of France to enjoy the 360 ​​degree panorama of the city of Puy-en-Velay. Climb to the Chapel of Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe to learn more about this unique monument. Not forgetting Cathedral and its Hôtel Dieu, listed as a World Heritage SiteUNESCO under the Paths of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle.

Relax at the spa
Is the sky rather grey? That's the perfect opportunity for a pampering afternoon of well-being in one of the two spas in the Puy-en-Velay area: Ma Belle Campagne or Le Mont Anis . A bubble bath, a massage, a detox herbal tea—let yourself unwind. Treat yourself and give yourself a moment of relaxation ; that's what holidays are all about!
4
Go hiking or biking
With cold, dry weather, there's nothing better for recharging your batteries than going for a walk or a bike ride in the fresh air! And since it's not always easy to know which walk is THE one not to miss, we recommend you take a look at the departmental website " Rando(s) Haute Loire " (also available on mobile): https://sportsnature.hauteloire.fr/
Along the Via Velay, near the chibottes in Vals-Près-le-Puy or the Beaume waterfall , you will definitely find the route that suits you!
