Departure from Intres (Ardèche)
This hike offers a beautiful introduction to the Boutières region, with its rugged terrain, rivers, diverse landscapes and views. It alternates between moorland, meadows and forests of beech and coniferous trees, ending on the Dolce Via, which allows you to pick up the pace after the numerous ascents and descents.

Moderate
Departure from Désaignes (Ardèche)
Walk along the slopes of the Sialle stream valley.
Paths rather than tracks, due to the lack of visitors to this isolated valley.
The route starts at the highest point, but the starting point in Desaignes is obvious when approaching from below.

Departure from Devesset (Ardèche)
Starting from the Devesset car park, this easy loop, mostly through woodland, will take you through the forests of the Ardèche. Enjoy the peace and coolness before returning to the lake for a swim or a complete tour of the lake if you still want to walk!
Circular route to Rochepaule from Lac de Devesset.

Moderate
Departure from Devesset (Ardèche)
The route is mostly shaded and follows a variety of paths, some of which are poorly maintained, so long trousers are recommended. Access to the lake is 300m from the starting point. I suggest a circular route starting from Rochepaule.
See practical information.

Difficult
Departure from Saint-Jeure-d'Andaure (Ardèche)
A very pleasant hike, especially in the off-season, with significant differences in climate and vegetation between Saint-Jeure-d'Andaure (1,000 m) and the Doux valley (500 m). The views are typical of the Ardèche and change with almost every turn.
The ruins of Rochebonne Castle

Easy
Departure from Saint-Martin-de-Valamas (Ardèche)
This hike starts off gently at the bottom of the valley, following an old railway line. It then climbs up to a rocky outcrop where the ruins of Rochebonne Castle stand proudly.
And as if the ruins of this castle weren't enough, all the great peaks of the Ardèche (Mézenc, Gerbier des Joncs) are visible throughout the hike.
