Departure from Châteauneuf-de-Bordette (Drôme)
Saint-Michel via the Montagne d'Essaillon, the Col de la Croix and the Col de Red Cross. A lovely path along the ridge between north-facing and south-facing slopes, between the Eygues and the Baronnies, with a return route along the flank of the Montagne de Peitieux. A magnificent view of Garde Grosse; in short, a very pleasant hike to share. Shaded for much of the route, this walk is suitable in all seasons.
