Hiking
Lac de la Crégut is the largest natural lake of glacial origin in the Massif Central. From its banks, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Cantal mountains and the surrounding lakes.
It is now part of a whole system of reservoirs that supply water to the Rhue hydroelectric power station, at the Bort dam.
