Neighborhood highlights

La Gerbaudie is a farmhouse located at the foot of Roc de Courlande on the western slope of Sancy, featuring majestic reliefs, sharp peaks and deep valleys.

We are only 5 km from the La Stèle cross-country skiing and mountain biking area and 8 km from the Chastreix-Sancy alpine ski resort. You can conquer the peaks of the Massif du Sancy from the house.

Chastreix is a peaceful village close to us (4 km), with a tourist office and starting point for a multitude of hikes on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback.

We are neighbors of the Chastreix-Sancy Nature Reserve, an ancient glacial valley at the foot of Sancy. A true green setting with breathtaking landscapes, in unspoiled nature rich in exceptional flora and remarkable fauna.
