Claveyson walks

Walk under the oak trees of the Bois de Suze, near Claveyson. A forest walk to be enjoyed in hot weather.

Walk in the Galaure valley between plains, hills, valleys and villages.

Hike starting from the small village of Saint-Andéol, where there is a small church called Le Prieuré.You will walk uphill to the Tour de Ratières, where your climb will be rewarded with a magnificent, almost 360° view of the Alps and the Vercors to the east, as well as the Pilat massif and the Ardèche mountains to the west.

In a wood near Saint Barthélémy de Vals, these rocks form a group of 51 blocks arranged in three roughly concentric circles covering nearly 6 hectares, hence the name "Cromlech de la Roche qui danse" (Dancing Rock Cromlech). Legend has it that "at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, the rocks begin to dance". Please note: see the practical information section.

A marked circular in the Drome des Collines, with beautiful views of the Vercors and Mont Saint-Gerbier-de-Jonc, passing through the undergrowth. Discover the Blue Cross and Red Cross. Partially shaded route.

A family-friendly trail in the Bois de Sizay, a true refuge for flora and fauna where you feel far away from it all.

Hikes in the woods and countryside around Saint-Donat-sur-L'Herbasse, with views of the Vercors mountain range and the Herbasse valley, and discovery of the forest's biodiversity.

Among the valleys of the Drôme, overlooking the Rhône plain.

The Drôme hills offer rolling countryside landscapes against the backdrop of the Vercors and, when visibility is good, the peaks of the Alps can often be seen on the horizon. These are beautiful walks all year round, best enjoyed when the days are short and snow is approaching the plains. The route has a modest elevation gain, making it accessible to most people. What's more, the fact that it is spread over two sections of the route makes it easier to complete

From Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, a short circuit passes by the Château de Charmes, a private property that is open to visitors, then winds pleasantly through the woods with a few views of the surrounding hills.

A loop alternating between hills, fruit tree plantations, the beautiful forests of Garde and Bard, and numerous sandy paths (almost Saharan!) Beautiful views of the hills and the Vercors and Pilat massifs.

This route runs alongside the Herbasse for much of the way, passing through gardens, fields and woods, and reaches Lac de Champos, its campsite and leisure centre, avoiding tarmac as much as possible. It ends at the charming little Georges Bert park.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
