This Sunday, October 11th, the Rand’Orcinoise gathered 170 participants for a friendly walk in the heart of the Chaîne des Puys, highlighting the local natural heritage.

Organized by the association Orcines Animations, the Rand’Orcinoise was a great success this Sunday, October 11th, attracting 170 participants eager to combine the pleasure of walking, the discovery of natural heritage, and conviviality. The event took place in the heart of the Chaîne des Puys, adorned with its magnificent autumn colors.
Starting from the Foyer rural, three circuits of 8, 15, and 26 km were offered, allowing everyone to hike at their own pace. The routes notably passed through remarkable sites such as the Panoramique des Dômes train station, the Chemin des Gouris, the foot of the Puy Pariou, as well as the towns of Chanat-la-Mouteyre and Ternant, providing hikers with opportunities to appreciate the richness and diversity of the local landscapes.
The hikers' efforts were rewarded with refreshments featuring local flavors, including rillettes, saint-nectaire, and other regional specialties, all enjoyed in a warm and authentic atmosphere.
Beyond the sporting aspect, this day particularly emphasized the importance of social connection, sharing, and collective enjoyment of an exceptional natural environment. The commitment and good humor of the Orcines Animations volunteers were widely praised, contributing to the success of this event, now well-established in the associative life of Orcines.
