Moderate
Departure from Venterol (Drôme) (Drôme)
A walk that takes us over small mountains through pine trees, oak trees, vineyards and lavender fields. A condensed version of the Drôme Provençale starting from the medieval fortified village of Venterol with its characteristic wrought iron bell tower.
A hike to be enjoyed in spring, autumn and winter, but not recommended in summer due to the heat.

Departure from Venterol (Drôme) (Drôme)
A very long, challenging circular route around the Montagne de la Lance, easily recognisable by its long, curved shape.
A 360° panoramic view from its summit at over 1,300 metres. To the west, a view over the Rhône valley (Tricastin, Donzère wind turbines); to the east, a wilder, more mountainous landscape featuring the Southern Pre-Alps, notably the Montagne d’Angèle and Mont Cougard; also the Diois region with the Trois Becs to the north; and finally, Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail to the south.
