Start in the Alagnon valley at Massiac and finish in the Cézallier massif. The first part is more difficult, but not very difficult. And you finish on the plateau with a view of the Cantalien massif * Riders in the Tour de France and the Mondovélo Tour in 2011 (Issoire / Saint Flour stage) passed over the Col du Baladour.
