Discovering outdoor activities inAuzon Community.

In order to better understand the area and better inform customers, the entire team participated in the familiarization tour organized by Yannick Dupoux (A big thank you to him!). Throughout the day, he introduced us to the many outdoor activities offered in the Auzon Communauté area.

Lempdes-sur-Allagnon

After a friendly welcome and the presentation of the program to the community of municipalities of Auzon, focus on Lempdes-sur-Alagnon to discover the different tools for developing the territory.

Between billboards and digital displays, everything is in place to explore the region, whether with family or in a more sporty way.

For a fun activity, the app “The Adventures of Saint-Verny" is ideal and free.

The orienteering course allows you to discover the village of Lempdes by finding the 10 markers. The map is available at Pont d'Allagnon campsite 3***in Brioude Sud Auvergne Tourist Officeor via a QR code. Thanks to Joël Brosson, the campsite manager, for the warm welcome, the presentation of the different accommodations, and his involvement in the activities.

The more athletic among you can take on the challenge of the nature trail, which has 12 markers around Lempdes s/A.

Looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush? A climbing crag stands along the Alagnon River, offering around twenty routes of varying difficulty. In summer, you can also try canoeing with family or friends. Yannick Sport Adventures
