HI Hostel Le Mont-DoreWelcome to Le Mont-Dore - Ski on a volcano! A charming chalet at the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park, welcomes you to its rooms with 2 to 6 comfortable beds, very recently renovated, some with double beds for couples. Each room is equipped with its own lavatory. You will love the friendly atmosphere of the large dining room and bar, the easy equipment rental at the hostel and the night-time snowshoe outings. You can go out in the morning with your skis on, ready to hit the nearby slopes always snowy thanks to snow guns. Ski area If you enjoy downhill skiing, take advantage of the 42 km of slopes and 82 snow guns at the Mont Dore ski area, whose chair lifts are just outside the doors of the hostel at the end of a footbridge. The top of the resort is connected to the Super Besse ski area (same pass), doubling the size of the ski area and giving the fearless access to the snowpark and the possibility of trying speed riding. Try out the Espace Nordique Sancy with its varied, exceptional landscapes that will melt the heart of all Nordic ski fans! The alternating forests, plateaus and volcanoes provide a unique panorama.
