Nature camping in the Sancy massif

Spring, the perfect season for nature activities

Les Clarines campsite is located in a mountainous area, at an altitude of 900m.

  • In summer

Evenings and nights can be cool. So don’t forget to pack some woollens, and if you’re camping, some good sleeping bags.

  • In winter

In addition to the colder, drier weather, snow can fall very quickly. It’s not unusual to get 10 cm of fresh snow in 1 hour!

So don’t forget to check your vehicle before you leave (antifreeze, glow plugs in good condition, etc.) and toequip it, ideally, with snow tires.

Keep at least a shovel and a set of chains in your trunk. It’s not unusual for the gendarmerie to refuse access to the Mont Dore resort to those without chains.
