Combovin walks

This route offers many forest trails and some beautiful views of the Vercors and the Rhône Valley.

This hike from Combovin takes you around the Vallon de la Cursaye via balconies, ridges and viewpoints over the Vercors, the Rhône Valley and even the Mézenc on a clear day.

Walk in the hills above Barcelonne to enjoy views of the plain from the tower of the old feudal castle and discover the Sainte-Marguerite Chapel perched above Combovin.

Geological curiosity formed by a large stone arch that resembles a cave entrance.

Short, easy hike around Château Rompu. Walk in the cool air along the Marette, climb in the shade, enjoy beautiful views of the valley, and return via the top of the village. From the viewpoint, you can see Crussol, the Chapel of Sainte-Marguerite, the bell tower of Montélier, etc. with the naked eye. However, a pair of binoculars is a welcome addition.

At the start of this aerial hike, you will encounter some very peaceful Scottish cows. The return journey is along the Crête de la Raye overlooking the Rhône Valley.

A short, wild loop very close to Baume-Cornillane, which can be adapted for a short half-day outing.

Walk in the Cirque de Peyrus along theGR®93trail. Very pretty view of the edge of the Vercors massif (Col des Limouches).

A walk to enjoy with a group or family around the village of Peyrus.

This short hike takes you through beautiful landscapes and lovely trails in the foothills of the Monts du Matin and the pretty village of Peyrus, nestled in the Lierne valley. It is not particularly difficult and is accessible to any walker with good footwear.

Discover Chabeuil, located on one of the roads connecting the Valence plain to the Vercors.

From Peyrus, a varied circuit passing through the Pas de Saint-Vincent and the Pas du Touet. On the upper part of the route, hikers will enjoy views of the Rhône valley, the Ardèche and the Vercors.

How about taking a trip back a few million years to find yourself at the centre of the original world (Pangaea)? La Baume-Cornillane claims this location and there are a few information panels at the top of the village explaining it in more detail. The rest of the route will take you up to the heights of Pas de la Croix, then back through the forest to the car park and back to the 21st century.

La Baume Cornillane is an exceptional site due to its geography and history. La Raye is a superb viewpoint: Baronnies, Vercors, Roc de Toulaud, Tête de la Dame and Plateau d'Ambel. The ridges are superb.

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.
