Discover the pretty village of Beauchastel and its surrounding hills, offering beautiful views of the Ardèche, the Vercors and the Rhône valley.

Hike leading to the ruined castle of Pierre Gourde, one of the highest points in the region, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

Not for those allergic to tarmac! A pleasant and varied hike, some sections of which follow small tarmac roads, as is often the case in the Ardèche. The first part takes place in the forest, where only birdsong disturbs the peace and quiet of the area. The second part follows theGR®42andGR®42Btrails, offering beautiful views of the Ardèche mountains, the Vernoux valley and the Rhône valley. Pierregourde Castle is very close to this circuit.

A stroll through the heart of a wine estate, in peace and quiet. Walk through orchards alternating with vineyards. A relaxing walk that changes colour and character with each season.

From the ramparts to the Drôme, this hike will allow you to discover the hilltop village of Old Livron, the panorama of Mont Rôti and, at the water's edge, the Ramières Nature Reserve.

A pleasant trail on the heights of the old village of Livron allows you to discover a small chapel hidden in the woods, the Tour du Diable watching over the Drôme and beautiful panoramic views of the southern Vercors. The return trip is peaceful along the banks of the Drôme.

A flat hike along the Drôme to its mouth at the Rhône. Discover unspoilt nature with its fields, hedges and pretty paths along the dykes. You will see the fish pass, the Viarhona cycle route, swans, great cormorants and more. Avoid in winter when there are strong north winds.

A family walk that takes you along the peaceful but wild banks of the Rhône to the Malpas plateau overlooking the town of Soyons.

A short, easy family walk offering a 360° view of the Rhône and the plains of the Drôme, in front of the foothills of the Diois and the Trois Becs.

The route starts on the banks of the Véore, crosses the village of Étoile-sur-Rhône and then climbs to the heights to see the telegraph, the ancestor of our telecommunications.

Discover the ruins of the Couvent des Chèvres overlooking the Rhône valley and then the hamlet of Vieux Rompon. The return trail is a pleasant walk along the cliffs above the Ouvèze with magnificent views.

This is a very pleasant walk that quickly takes you to the Grads plateau, which overlooks Pouzin and the confluence of the Ouvèze and Rhône rivers. The path overlooking the Ouvèze valley is very pleasant but may be vertiginous for some. The ridges offer a beautiful panoramic view of the Baronnies and the Vercors. Never stray from the route, which is now very well marked.
