Puy Chavaroche is a French summit located in the Mounts of Cantal. It peaks at 1,736 meters above sea level. There is an impressive "stone man" where visitors can leave a stone to mark their passage. Puy Chavaroche is crossed by the Grande Randonnée 400 (GR 400) hiking trail.
It is nicknamed the "goat mountain" due to the proximity of chava and chabra ("goat").[1]
Like several other peaks in the Cantal massif, Puy Chavaroche is composed of alternating layers of trachyandesite and volcanic breccias.[2] [3]
Puy Chavaroche can be reached on foot from the village of Mandailles, from the Col de Légal, or from the Pas de Peyrol. To the southwest lies the Roche Parlante.[4]
