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
Want to enjoy snow activities? This is the perfect time of year to reach our highest peaks and their Nordic areas like the Megal or Mezenc. Just a 30-minute drive from Puy-en-Velay, you can enjoy the downhill ski slopes, snowkiting spots, snowshoe trails or even sledding descents with Lugik Park !
2
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
The sky is rather gray? This is a very good opportunity for an afternoon cocooning and well-being in one of the two spas in the Puy-en-Velay region: My beautiful countryside ou Mount Anis. A bubble bath, a massage, a detox herbal tea, let yourself go. Treat yourself and give yourself a relaxation moment ; that's also what holidays are about!
4
Go hiking or biking
With cold and dry weather, there's nothing better to recharge your batteries and go for a walk or a bike ride in the great outdoors! And since it's not always easy to know which is THE walk not to be missed, we advise you to take a look at the departmental website " Hike(s) Haute Loire » (also available on mobile): https://sportsnature.hauteloire.fr/
Along the Via Velay, on the side of chibottes in Vals-Près-le-Puy or of the Beaume waterfall, you will definitely find the course you need!
