Departure from Beauregard-Baret (Drôme)
A "wild" route at the start, two caves to visit and a magnificent panorama to admire from the Montagne de Mussan, covering a large part of the Vercors, make this hike well worth the effort.

This hike is a variation of Château Gaillard to Saint-Mamans. It is a little more challenging, a little longer and has fewer tarmac roads. But it still offers beautiful views of the Musans mountains and the Valence plain.
