Discover the Verrerie Plateau: a natural gem with exceptional panoramas

A true haven of biodiversity, the Verrerie Plateau rises between mountain moors and ancient peat bogs. Located on the border between the Allier and Loire departments, this natural site offers breathtaking views of the Roanne region, the Alps, and the Auvergne region.

A site accessible year-round

Since 2011, a summer pasture has allowed herds to graze from May to October. Hikers, on foot, on horseback, or by mountain bike, can enjoy this unspoiled setting while respecting the local wildlife (cattle, sheep, goats, etc.).

Educational signs mark the trail and will help you better understand the richness of this unique natural heritage.

Hiking, Mountain Biking, and Winter Sports

The site is designed to welcome hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts, and in winter, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Just 9 km from Saint-Rirand, enjoy a moment in the heart of the Monts de la Madeleine.

Breathtaking panoramas

From the wooden footbridge, discover the peat bog formed over 4,600 years ago. Don't miss the Roc du Vacher orientation table, which offers breathtaking views of the Roanne plain, the Monts du Lyonnais, the Forez, and on a clear day, as far as Mont Blanc!
