Col de la Bataille walks

The Ambel Plateau, divided between pastures and forests, covers an area of 1,231 hectares. The view of the surrounding peaks and mountains is superb, with the Hauts Plateaux du Vercors and the Grand Veymont to the east, and the Tête de la Dame (1,506 m), from where you can see the Diois and the Baronnies, to the west the Hauts Plateaux du Vercors and the Grand Veymont, to the west, the Tête de la Dame (1,506 m), from where you can see the Diois, the Baronnies and the Omblèze valley with its cliffs below, and to the south, the Saint-Julien-en-Quint valley.

The Tête de la Dame offers a magnificent 360-degree panorama. Although it is accessible to experienced hikers from the village of Omblèze, it is also easier to get there from the Col de la Bataille. Ideal for a picnic!

This is a relatively easy hike in the Léoncel National Forest, mostly on cross-country ski or snowshoe trails. It is a very pleasant walk in warm weather, as almost the entire route is in the shade.
