Barnave walks

This route presents certain difficulties: walking through thickets, crossing small rocks or holes dug by erosion, and passing along the edge of steep cliffs. Absolutely not recommended in hot weather due to its south-west exposure, it remains very pleasant from autumn to spring on a beautiful sunny day. Avoid if the trail is covered with snow covering crevasses and due to the risk of slipping.

A short, easy and wild circular route with beautiful views from the top of the cliffs.

After a long climb, a 360° view awaits you on the ridges.

A few steep paths, a touch of orientation in the boxwoods and pines, a very short vertiginous ledge on the way back, a narrow passage between two cliffs, four small fords, an exceptional 360° view from the summit over the Vercors (as far as Veymont), the Devoluy, the southern peaks of the Drôme, Serre Chauvière, the Trois Becs, the Drôme Valley: this is the "Beaufayn" programme!

A walk through the forest overlooking Aurel with views of the village.

On a clear day, the Serre Chauvière plateau offers a magnificent 360° panorama of the peaks of Devoluy, Vercors, Baronnies and Diois. A major effort has been made to re-mark and clear the trails on this superb hike, which adds considerable value.

On a clear day, the Serre Chauvière plateau offers a magnificent 360° panorama of the peaks of the Devoluy, Vercors, Baronnies and Diois. The Balcon de la Colombe is a very pretty trail.

Circular on trails, paths and tracks, visiting some of the characteristic sites of the Justin mountain, Pas du Renard, forest lodge, Bât de l'Âne. Beautiful views of the peaks of the southern Vercors and more wooded areas.

From Saint-Benoît, a hilltop village and strategic point, climb up the paths once used by farmers through the sunny south-facing slopes. They offer breathtaking views of the Roanne Gorges.

A beautiful circular leading to a summit offering stunning views of the Vercors, Diois and Trois Becs.

This is a long hike but without any technical difficulties apart from the relatively steep grassy slopes below the summit of La Servelle. Your efforts will be rewarded with a magnificent 360° view from Vercors to Ventoux and from Dévoluy to the Monts d'Ardèche! Return via a partial circular route passing through Champ Rabi.

A demanding hike where you walk in water most of the time. The first 4 kilometres are on dry land and the rest in the beds of the Brette and Roanne rivers. A very beautiful route that allows you to discover the wild gorges of these two rivers. Please note: the walking time is calculated for routes on dry land; walking in water is much more difficult, so you should allow around 1 to 1.5 km/h, or around 8 to 9 hours of walking for this route.

Set off to conquer a 1,085-metre mountain on a steep path, under a peaceful forest of tall trees and interspersed with breathtaking views of the rocky chaos of the Claps. At the summit, enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the Diois valley and the first peaks of the Vercors. Walk along the ridge to feast your eyes once more, this time in the direction of the Hautes-Alpes. Finally, descend gently through a landscape typical of the South of France.

At the foot of Montagne du Glandasse, I recommend a lovely walk in the hills above Châtillon-en-Diois.

I suggest taking a short walk to the heights of the village of Châtillon-en-Diois to reach the Cascade de l'Adoux waterfall. The route is mainly through the woods, punctuated by some pretty views. Please note: some sections require careful footing.

The aim of this hike is to follow a good circular route from Châtillon-en-Diois to the hamlets of Ravel-et-Ferrier, then return via Serre Chanuit (1,430m), crossing six passes in the process, including the Col du Pinet.

A beautiful hike that takes you to the southern tip of the Vercors plateau and its vast mountain pastures. The end of the route offers superb panoramic views of the Diois and the Cirque d'Archiane.

Discover the Combe de Baïn below the cliffs of Glandasse.

The aim of the route is to reach the summit of Glandasse mountain (known as the Dôme or Pié Ferré - 2,041 metres above sea level) via an alternative routeto the GR®91: Pié de Boeuf, near the Col de Caux (overlooking the Baïn valley), Fontaine des Tuiles (dominated by the Roc d'Ambane).

Leave the Die road and, at the mouth of a narrow gorge, you’ll find yourself facing a welcoming valley that ends at the gigantic rocky outcrop of the Glandasse. Seclusion, abundant water, forests and farmland framed by limestone cliffs: you may well be in raptures... just like those Cistercian monks who settled in November 1188 at Vallis Crescens, the starting point of the hike. ⚠️ 21/04/2026: 2 km before the Abbey, the road is closed due to a rockslide; it is not currently possible to reach the start of this hike.

Starting from Vercheny-le-Temple (or Vercheny le Haut), this is a very pretty hike on easy trails and paths, providing access to one of the ridges of the Grand Barry-Gaudichart, as well as the ruined castle of Barry. Exceptional panoramic views of the Vercors, the Baronnies and the Diois. The return journey is partly via the western slope, offering another panorama of the Saoû ridges, and partly via the eastern slope, via the Pas de la Bernarde, which has been cleared between the rocks (no equipment required).

A very beautiful circuit, mostly in the forest and therefore quite shaded, with a magnificent view once you reach the ruins of Barry Castle.

Beautiful hike on the slopes of Couspeau, above Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert. Unobstructed view of the Roanne basin, the Servelle, the Diois and Vercors mountains.

Mainly on wide tracks, this hike—which is not difficult apart from its length—takes you up to the Taillefer, offering stunning views from the Vercors to the Trois-Becs Massif with beautiful vistas over the Drôme Valley.

Easy hike from the pretty village of Pontaix. Ascent into the Grand Barry Forest. Descent into the Ravin des Lots. The ruins of the castle are worth visiting for the view over the Drôme, and from the village you can access the waterfalls and pools of the Ruisseau des Lots.
