A great day out. You can take the cable car to the top, or if you like a challenge, it will take around 3-4 hours to walk to the top. Once there you can climb the steps to the summit before enjoying a well earned repas in the restaurant at the cable car exit, or head into le Mont Dore, where you will find a host of eateries to suit all tastes
