Cascade du Rif ou de la Dame walks
Baume-Cornillane loop, the keep, the Grotte de la Dame
From the centre of the world (Pangaea) before continental drift, to the Middle Ages, via local legends about the cave that gave the village its name (Baume = cave in Provençal), this is a varied family walk starting from the charming village of La Baume-Cornillane: old stones, hidden paths, stunning landscapes, a stream and a petrifying waterfall (sometimes so petrified that it is dry!) and a remarkable cave.

From the Druise Waterfall to Léoncel via the Gueulards Canyon
First stage of the circular route around Omblèze in the Southern Vercors. This route begins with a visit to the Chute de la Druise, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Vercors, which plunges 70 metres from the bottom of a narrow gorge. After passing through the Gervanne Gorge, you come to the charming little Pissoire Waterfall, followed by a crossing of the Gueulards Canyon, a unique geological feature that inspires both unease and delight, before reaching the small, isolated village of Léoncel and its 12th-century abbey, with its old-world charm, which offers hospitality in a discreet manner.
From Léoncel to the Druise car park via the Croix d'Ambel
Second stage of the Omblèze circular route in the Southern Vercors. This mountainous stage begins with a long climb to the Pas du Grand Échaillon, which continues up the Ravin de Pissenible to reach the Col de la Bataille and its viewpoint. The path, which is almost level on the flank of the Roc de Toulau, then climbs to the panoramic viewpoint at the Croix d'Ambel, before descending after the Pas de Garde to the viewpoint at Pierre Plate and crossing through Omblèze. It climbs to the Col des Ayes and then continues to the Col d'Anse, from where it descends to the hamlet of Ansage before reaching the car park
