Beaurepaire walks

A walk well known to Beaurepairois residents: the first 500 metres are very popular with families with children. For a brisk walk, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes, and for walkers, allow 35 to 40 minutes.

An easy walk, despite the distance. You will walk either through the heart of the plateau's crops or through woods. To finish, you will descend the very pretty Grand Suzon valley. The stream is often dry, but... not always! If the weather is clear, you can enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

This route is very pleasant in summer due to the coolness of the undergrowth. In spring and autumn, it offers a diversity of colours and scents for our visual and olfactory enjoyment. There are several points along the route where you can enjoy views of the Beaurepaire plain. TO ALL HIKERS (SES) WHO FOLLOW MY HIKES, you can post photos indicating the location on the route.

A circular that can be done at any time of year, allowing you to discover and visit the pretty Dauphiné village of Revel. The ridge path at the start, along with the flat section in the second part of the route, allow you to enjoy landscapes stretching from the Alps to the Massif Central. Best done on days before rain to ensure clear skies, offering superb, far-reaching and unobstructed views.

An easy walk, ideal in spring when the fruit trees are in bloom. Several points of interest for children. On the way, you can see the priory of Manthes, visit an extraordinary garden created by a disciple of the facteur Cheval, tour the Château du Double and search for a riddle.

An easy walk on the moraines overlooking Lens Lestang. You alternate between walking in the woods and in open country. On the way there, you can see the Pilat and Ardèche mountains and the Beaurepaire plain. On the way back, as you turn around, you can admire the peaks of the Vercors, the Alps, the Chartreuse and Mont Blanc (weather permitting...).

You will cross the Valloire plain, surrounded by fields and orchards in Lens Lestang, until you reach the Priory of Manthes. Information boards tell you about mulberry and pear trees. Then you climb up to the Madone de Moras and return along a path well sheltered from the sun, along the moraine. On the way, you can admire the Château du Double.

This is the May Day hike with its sprigs of lily of the valley and beautiful views.

A short walk in the heart of the Pajay plain, but which climbs the hill at the end. It takes place on small, quiet roads or good gravel paths.

An easy route alternating between hills, forests, ponds and views of the mountains in the distance. A superb 360° panorama in the village of Pommiers-de-Beaurepaire.

This route takes you across fields, but very often on small tarmac roads, allowing you to discover what the environment of Facteur Cheval might have been like. Perhaps some parts of the route were even part of his daily rounds!

This varied walk first winds along the Galaure river before climbing up the hill. It meanders through the woods before returning to the village of Hauterives, in front of the Palais Idéal. Read the practical information before setting off. There is a ford to cross. If you wish, you can shorten the route and do only a 7 km circular route.

A short, varied walk on the hillside of Saint-Clair-sur-Galaure. View of the Vercors peaks
