Some tips:
- Winter hiking is an adventure, not just a date. So keep in mind that the weather on Puy de Dôme can be quite different than what you'll find in the city. Always dress accordingly to cope with the severe climate changes. While it's necessary to stay warm, heat generated by the active hike might make it feel much warmer than the temperature dictates, hence the need for layers.
- When planning your date, consider starting earlier in the day as it tends to get dark quite early in winter. This will give you ample time to reach the summit and enjoy the view before sunset.
- Hiking can be physically demanding, particularly in winter conditions. So, assess both of your physical fitness beforehand and choose a trail that matches your capabilities. It's essential to know your limits in such adverse weather conditions. Remember, you are not racing anyone - it's okay to take breaks.
