Come and enjoy a breath of fresh air in Vic-sur-Cère at the Bel Horizon Hotel
Holidays in Vic-sur-Cère in the heart of Cantal
In the heart of the Cantal mountains, home to Europe's largest stratovolcano, explore Vic-sur-Cère, the former capital of the County of Carladès, once the stronghold of the Grimaldi family. Hiking, nature, waterfalls, and heritage await you at the heart of the Volcanoes Regional Nature Park in the Massif Central, starting from the Hotel Bel Horizon.
Between Aurillac and the Plomb du Cantal, nestled between mountains and forests, Vic-sur-Cère reveals its charm as a former spa town in a pristine natural setting. At the Hotel Bel Horizon, you'll find the ideal starting point for discovering the magnificent landscapes of the Cantal mountains and the treasures of the Auvergne region. In summer, it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts: hiking, cycling, or horseback riding, discovering the Puy Mary, a designated Grand Site de France, and many other treasures nestled in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park. The train station, located near our hotel, allows you to take one of the most beautiful railway lines in the Massif Central and reach the Lioran ski resort or Aurillac in less than twenty minutes. A little further afield, a mosaic of discoveries awaits: castles, picturesque villages like Salers and Chaudes-Aigues, the historic town of Saint-Flour, and the Garabit Viaduct (Eiffel Tower). (from Cantal!) not forgetting Aurillac, the prefecture of Cantal, known for its umbrella tradition, as well as the remarkable sites of Conques, Rocamadour, Laguiol, Padirac... Here, each day reveals a new face of nature and heritage, each moment reconnects you to what is essential.
