Your taxi in Le Mont-Dore
At the foot of the Puy de Sancy, the Massif Central's highest peak at 1,886 m, Le Mont-Dore combines alpine skiing across 31 runs, historic neo-Byzantine thermal baths, and the 1898 Capucin funicular. Secure transfers from Clermont-Ferrand in 45 minutes, mountain-equipped vehicles, waterfall and lake excursions year-round.
Booking a taxi in Le Mont-Dore means choosing between a metered ride and a fixed price quoted before departure. 10 partner drivers cover the city, for an average wait of 15 min. The most frequent pick-ups are in Centre-ville, Les Thermes and Sancy. The most requested route, Le Mont-Dore — Clermont-Ferrand, is offered at €65–€85. The metered fare is not set freely: it follows the department's prefectoral order, which caps the pick-up charge, the price per kilometre and the waiting hour, with a higher rate from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The meter shows the letter of the current rate, which lets you check it. The price booked in advance includes luggage and the driver's approach and does not change in traffic. Card payment can never be refused, and a receipt is issued automatically from twenty-five euros.

Taxi in Le Mont-Dore
Le Mont-Dore is a mountain ski and thermal resort nestled at the foot of the Puy de Sancy, the highest point of the Massif Central at 1,886 metres. This characterful small town, crossed by the nascent Dordogne River, has combined mountain pleasures with the benefits of thermal waters since the 19th century. The Mont-Dore Thermal Baths, a neo-Byzantine building inaugurated in 1891, welcome thousands of patients each year for respiratory treatments in an architecturally exceptional setting — frescoes, mosaics, and marble columns adorn the treatment rooms. In winter, the Mont-Dore ski resort offers 31 runs across 41 km, from beginner to expert, with unique panoramas over the Auvergne volcanoes. The Capucin funicular, built in 1898 and one of the oldest in France, is an attraction in its own right: it carries visitors 500 metres up to the Salon du Capucin, an outstanding viewpoint over the valley. In summer, Le Mont-Dore transforms into a hiking paradise. The Sancy cable car lifts walkers to 1,800 metres in just minutes, from where the summit is a 20-minute walk. Waterfalls are everywhere: the Grande Cascade (32 m), the Cascade de la Dore, and the Cascade du Queureuilh punctuate the forest trails. TaxiNeo accompanies you in discovering all these treasures, from the transfer from Clermont-Ferrand to shuttle services to the slopes, including excursions to the mountain lakes of Guéry and Servières.
Le Mont-Dore lies 50 km from Clermont-Ferrand, approximately 45 minutes via the D2089 then the D996 — a mountain journey through grandiose volcanic landscapes that can prove tricky in winter. This is precisely when a taxi makes all the difference: rather than risking driving on snowy and sometimes icy roads, entrust your journey to our TaxiNeo drivers, trained in mountain driving and equipped accordingly. From November to April, every vehicle in our fleet carries approved snow tyres and chains, ready to be fitted at the first snowflake. In summer, the taxi remains the most practical solution for hikers wanting to reach the foot of the Sancy cable car without the hassle of parking — car parks are completely full in July and August. Our drivers also offer full-day hire for waterfall and lake enthusiasts: Grande Cascade circuit, Lac de Guéry, Lac de Servières, with on-site waiting. For spa patients, we organise regular transfers between accommodation and the thermal establishment, respecting the often early-morning treatment schedules. Airport service from Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (Aulnat) is guaranteed for all flights, including late arrivals. Families appreciate our spacious vehicles that safely accommodate skis, luggage, and children. Book in advance on TaxiNeo to secure your transfer on your preferred dates.

Are TaxiNeo taxis in Le Mont-Dore available at night?
Yes, our partner drivers in Le Mont-Dore are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays. The night tariff, known as tariff B, applies from seven in the evening until seven in the morning, as well as on Sundays and public holidays: it is higher than the daytime rate but still capped by the prefecture. Waiting times can stretch in off-peak hours, particularly outside the centre, so booking ahead remains the surest way to get a vehicle.

For an early flight or a medical appointment, book the day before: a driver is then assigned in advance and the pick-up time is guaranteed.

In Le Mont-Dore, does the taxi go up the Puy de Sancy?
The taxi drops you at the foot of the Sancy cable car, at the intermediate station. From there, the summit (1,886 m) is a 4-minute cable car ride followed by a 20-minute walk. Our drivers wait for you in the car park during your ascent and pick you up at the agreed time for the return journey.
Are there taxis in winter in Le Mont-Dore?

Can you visit Le Mont-Dore's historic thermal baths?
The Mont-Dore thermal baths are a neo-Byzantine building dating from 1891, decorated with frescoes, mosaics and marble columns. Guided tours run in summer outside treatment hours. Our drivers know the opening times and drop you right in front of the monumental entrance. An architectural masterpiece not to be missed.
