Perched on a volcanic headland, Saint-Flour, city of art and history, cultivates its mountain character with audacity and modernity. At the crossroads of the Margeride, the Cantal mountains and the Truyère gorges, its natural attractions, prized by nature sports enthusiasts, compose striking landscapes.

Halfway to the south, Saint-Flour is also a privileged and lively city. The largest volcano in Europe is still active, its sources, the hottest in Europe, spring at Chaudes Aigues (Occitan word: “hot springs”).

Majestic ironwork of Gustave Eiffel, the viaduct of Garabit has brought together the two banks of the Truyère for more than 120 years and arouses the admiration of the holiday makers who discover it by following the roads which furrow these gorges with the varied tourist attractions. Murat: located in the heart of the Auvergne mountains, the Pays de Murat offers unique landscapes and a prestigious volcanic heritage.

The Lioran resort is nestled in the middle of the fir trees in the heart of the Mounts of Cantal, the Lioran resort covers 150 Hectares
