244 - Puy de Dôme

TOLBOOM Michiel - 17-10-2023:
Just like Robert I started just past 6 o'clock in the morning in the dark in October. While decending afterwards I encountered a car going up. Nothing happend, so no consequences. I think the barrier opens at 7 for staff vehicles.

I was there end of november a sunday morning. The train opened at 9 am, I crossed the barrier at 6:10 am and was down again at around 7 am. Just as I arrived at the barrier, I passed a car going up. So I don't know what would have happened if I arrived one hour later and he caught me on my way up.
I also saw that in winter the train is totally closed mondays and tuesdays, but I don't know if you can climb all day long, I believe not.
I've created a topic in the forum, if anybody wants to discuss about Puy de Dôme : https://centcols.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=58

To be or not to be ? Ta question, Gilles, a déjà été évoquée à de maintes reprises dans le comité. La règle en vigueur maintient une ascension s'il est possible de la gravir ne fût-ce qu'un jour. Le versant suggéré est aussi difficile que celui suggéré par le site (qu'il faudra sans doute adapter). Actuellement, on le maintient, mais on revotera certainement à son sujet dans les années à venir. Merci pour ta note en tout cas.

Sachant que la montée n'est possible qu'une fois par an, sur réservation, et suivant un tracé qui n'est pas celui prévue par le challenge... Faut il maintenir ce BIG infaisable dans la liste ?

Help needed! I plan to cycle the Puy in the early hours of 3rd August 2018. What is the latest time I have to be down... and if I'm not what can the authorities do to me? "Oh, sorry, I didn't know - I'm a foreigner!" If I ride down fast enough maybe the dog won't react fast enough with it's gnashers! Any help would be gratefully appreciated. I realise too that there's another way down by taking the 600 metre length path down to Col de Ceyssett

We have signed up for the 2018 event on June 24 with 8 BIG members! And of course the other BIGs in the neighbourhood will be scored as appetizer / desert as well.

Make sure you reach the entry of the Puy around 7AM... You will be on the summit at 7u40. Make a few pictures and get back down before the road opens... Otherwise, it's illegal to ride it. Whatever...
