A lovely circular route that takes you from Maclas to the beautiful medieval village of Malleval via the Bessey Plateau and the Épervier river valley, then back up the Batalon river. No particular difficulty (apart from the length of the route); the paths are mostly easy and gently sloping. The second half of the route (from the River Épervier to Maclas) is mostly cool and shaded.

This easy walk allows you to stroll around the beautiful village of Pélussin before plunging into the wooded valley of the Scie stream.It partly follows the Priel trail (Pelussin 1, yellow/white markings).

This short walk will allow you to enjoy the beautiful medieval village of Malleval (in the golden light of early morning if you set off at sunrise, which is recommended) before venturing into the wine-growing hillsides. The distance is moderate, but expect some elevation gain (a fairly steep descent followed by a climb) during the first half of the route, as you make your way down to Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf from the top of the hills, before climbing back up through the vineyards.

This short hike is an opportunity to discover the valleys north of the commune of Pélussin, while enjoying numerous views of this beautiful little village (two churches and a castle!), stretching along a ridge that slopes gently down towards the Rhône valley. You can also enjoy beautiful views of the Pilat peaks (Les Trois Dents, Le Crêt de l'Oeillon).

This circular route, approximately 16 km long, takes you from Le Bessat to La Valla-en-Gier, largely following the course of the Torrent du Ban. The walk presents no particular difficulties, apart from its length
