Perched at an altitude of 1,885 metres, the Puy de Sancy is the highest peak in the Massif Central. The town of Le Mont-Dore lies on its slopes and in 2023 saw the Tour riders pass by on a stage between Vulcania and Issoire, where Pello Bilbao was the victor. Part of the same massif, the nearby resort of Chastreix-Sancy hosted the finish of a stage of the 2022 Critérium du Dauphiné, won by David Gaudu ahead of Wout van Aert.
