Stunning views over the Rhône valley, but also inland towards the remarkable valleys and plateaus. This is a unique route as it has very little elevation gain in this part of the Ardèche, alternating between fields and woods several times. It can also be shortened to 7.6 km for afternoon hikers in winter. To all walkers: please feel free to post photos, specifying the location on the route. WARNING! A hiker has warned me to take great care, following heavy rain, as the section along the stream is very difficult. I advise hikers to wait four or five days after the rain before undertaking this hike.
