The hamlet of Villemonteix is at the gateway to the Monts and Barrages (mountains and dams) natural park, and so a visit to the Plateau de Millevaches (not the Plateau of the thousand cows as most people think, but actually it comes from the Celtic mil batz - a thousand springs!) and the volcanic region of the Massif Central is a must.
The skiing region of Mont Dore, Besse and Superbesse is approximately a two hour drive and is more than worth a visit even out of skiing season!
