A very easy hike, between forest and meadow, around the Lac du Tact, ideal for birdwatching.

Numerous animal species can be observed here, including birds (lapwing, red-winged warbler, green-winged teal, etc.), dragonflies, amphibians, crickets and European otters. A thematic trail has been laid out along the way, for birdwatching and awareness-raising. The trail features interpretation panels and an observatory for a reasoned approach to the species.

The Bort-les-Orgues lake is an artificial lake of 10.72 km2 and results from the creation of the Bort-les-Orgues dam on the high course of the Dordogne. It marks the point where the river enters its gorges and is the first upstream hydroelectric development on the Dordogne.The lake is 21 km long and is shared between the departments of Corrèze, Cantal and Puy-de-Dôme. Although there is no walking tour of the lake yet, a nature-sports festival takes place every year around 14 July, the Aquaterra, which includes trail and water sports.

The Puy de la Vache reaches a height of 1,167 metres. Its main lava flow, together with that of the Puy de Lassolas, is known as the Cheire d'Aydat. By blocking off valleys, it created various lakes including the Etang de la Cassière to the north and the Lac d'Aydat to the south in the Veyre valley. These 8,000 year old volcanoes are the most recently-formed of their kind in the Chaîne des Puys. Puy de la Vache rises to an altitude of 1,167 metres. Its main lava flow, together with that of the Puy de Lassolas, is known as the cheire d'Aydat. By damming the valleys, it created a number of lakes, including Lac de la Cassière to the north and Lac d'Aydat to the south in the Veyre valley. At 8,000 years old, they are the youngest volcanoes in the Chaîne des Puys. The Chaîne des Puys stretches for fifteen kilometers, reaching as far as the present-day communes of Saint-Saturnin and Saint-Amant-Tallende. The particular color of these puys, due to oxidation, ranges from red (for those left exposed to the heat of the crater) to black, resulting in surprisingly chaotic landscapes, reinforced by the presence of numerous voluminous slags left over from the eruption. Pets are welcome, provided they are kept on a leash.

This 23-hectare artificial lake is the result of the impoundment of a former peat bog, which explains its shallow depth of around 2 meters. A themed trail has been laid out for the tour, and along the way you'll find a wildlife observatory and picnic tables. There's also a variant of the Crégut tour that takes you to the Tact on foot.
