Visit the interior of a real volcano. By train, on foot, with family or group ...
This Strombolian cone was chosen at the end of the Second World War for the extraction of its volcanic snails. Thanks to this industrial activity and cooperation with the scientific world, the internal structure of the volcano, patiently stripped of its rocks, is today revealed in a striking way. Thus, a gigantic 10-hectare cavity opens in the funnel in the heart of the volcano, thanks to the 11 exploitation levels that cut the cliffs and reveal the colors and layers. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the chimneys, the geological treasures and the panorama of the volcanoes next to the Chaîne des Puys. It is the only volcano whose anatomy is so visible and marked. With more than 2 million curious people since its opening, it is an unmissable location for the dissemination of volcanological knowledge. Your animator accompanies you in the guts of this gigantic open funnel for an interactive and fun discovery ... Observe this geological curio, collect volcanic rocks, exchange shapes and colors ... The site invites young and old to get acquainted with volcanology in practice!
