The Orgues de Bort (altitude 789 m). Towering 350 m above the town, the Orgues de Bort are formed by phonolite flows whose ends are cut into columns 80 to 100 m high, stretching for 2 km.
These gigantic organ pipes, shaped by time, are the result of shrinkage cracks forming as the lava cooled. The Orgues de Bort are considered the best vantage point for admiring the Auvergne. Opposite this prestigious balcony are the Chaine des Monts Dore, the Plateau de l'Artense and the grassy peaks of the Cézallier and the Massif Central. Orientation tables.
