PR 2 : Histoire d'eau

Description

This easy hiking trail takes you around the Crégut natural lake to discover the unique landscapes of the Artense region, with its forests, meadows and panoramic views of the Cantal and Sancy mountains.

The Lac de la Crégut is the largest natural lake of glacial origin in the Massif Central, covering almost 37 hectares. Its depth (two pools of 16 m and 26 m) and the fact that its natural water supply is low in nutrients have prevented it from becoming a peat bog.

Departure point: Lac de la Crégut parking lot. Take the road towards the hamlet of Crégut and follow the blue markings.
Two variations are possible.

Variant n°1: A 2.8 km path (signposted from the Lac de la Crégut parking lot) leads to the beach of Lac de Lastioulles (Pavillon Bleu) and its nautical base.

Variant n°2: The Lac du Tact trail (3.3 km) extends the hike with an itinerary designed for birdwatching and awareness-raising.
