Arras-sur-Rhône walks

Hike near the Rhône, to the north of Ardèche. You will be surprised to find areas that are this "wild" so close to the Rhône Valley (Ardennes). At the end, the view of the Rhône and the Arras tower is a definite plus.

Hike in the Mazèvieux valley north-east of Vion, which will take you past the ruins of Iserand Castle.

From the Puy de Serves viewpoint, you will have a breathtaking view of the Rhône valley. At Les Roches qui dansent, you will be able to admire a unique geological feature.

The route skirts the Rhône valley through valleys, streams and orchards. A very pleasant corner of the Drôme.

From the banks of the Rhône, climb up to the Blacheronde plateau and follow a circular route via Combe de Laye and the village of Beausemblant. Beautiful views of the Pilat and Vercors mountains and the Rhône valley. You can take a final break in the park along the Galaure river.

Hike along the ridge above the Rhône through villages, vineyards and forests with beautiful views.

Over the Rhone balconies between grape vines and apricot trees, with pretty little streams.

An easy hike that allows you to discover Lac des Meinettes and the trail that runs around it. A beautiful view of the Ardèche plateau above the nearby Rhône valley.

The hike is mainly in the woods, on pleasant paths. You will be in the shade in summer and sheltered from the north wind (Mistral) if it blows (frequent in the region). Wild descent to Vion, with a few views of the Rhône valley. The last two kilometres are easy, on the plain, through the orchards of the Rhône valley.

Short hike starting from Sarras, mainly on paths and trails through the Saint-Joseph vineyards and woods. Unofficial route and therefore not marked, so bring your GPS or the Visorando app. Avoid during the grape harvest so as not to disturb the winegrowers.

Hike between the Cance and Ay valleys with beautiful views.

On the outskirts of Sarras, the Ay river winds its way through a gorge that can be seen from certain points along the route, offering beautiful views of a unique landscape of cliffs and rocks.

Circular through the Ay valley along the river, passing through the vineyards on the plateau and then descending through the undergrowth on the Rhône valley side via the Chemin des Roches. Varied landscapes, pretty views of different valleys and very little tarmac.

A rural hike along small paths that run alongside streams on the right bank of the Cance valley to near Ardoix and back via the classic ridge route leading back to Sarras.

Parcours sans difficulté sur de petits sentiers tranquilles autour des villages de Larnage et Crozes-Hermitage. Passage près de l'ancienne carrière de kaolin encore exploitée il y a quelques années et abandonnée maintenant. Ce kaolin servait à la fabrication de porcelaine et les déchets étaient étalés sur les chemins de terre en guise de goudron.
