You’re thinking of taking a family trip to discover the Auvergne and the Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but how can you keep both young and old occupied over a long weekend or holiday?

Ideas for your family holiday

Will there be activities for your little ones? Do your teenagers love thrills and spills? Terra Volcana has put together a guide to keep the whole tribe busy and make your holiday in the Auvergne unforgettable for your children (and yourself!).

Do you have a pushchair and think that nothing in the Auvergne is flat? Think again, our guide not only includes pushchair trails, but also children’s play areas.

If you fancy a picnic in the countryside, but a table and benches are more comfortable than on the grass, then come and discover our best picnic spots with a view of the Chaîne des Puys.

 Fill up on activities

For your children, holidays mean swimming. You’ll find a section on “where to swim”, with information on nearby bathing spots: lakes, reservoirs, swimming pools, etc.

Finding a hike that appeals to young and old alike can sometimes be an obstacle course? We’ve listed our family hikes in our “family activities” guide.

Fancy a sporting activity? Whether outdoors or indoors, you’ll find everything you need to do, includingtree climbing, canoeing, go-karting, escapades, horse riding, mountain biking, climbing a via ferrata, or riding in a skate park

 There's something for everyone

If you prefer a holiday based on discovery and culture, we can also suggest the most beautiful châteaux to visit, as well as the region’s museums.

Do your children love creativity and manual activities? Find out about all the pottery and lava enamelling courses in Terra Volcana in our guide.

You can also find the market days for strolling along the stalls in the various communes of the region.
