A lovely hike offering beautiful views of the Rhône Valley, the Alps and the Ardèche. A 15-minute drive from Valence, this hike leads you around the beautiful surroundings of this small village.

A ride on the peaks of the Massif de Crussol, 20 minutes from Valencia via the castle.

This walk allows you to explore caves (admission fee), then enjoy a magnificent view from the Serre de Guercy and see a feudal ruin, the Tour Penchée, built on an ancient Gallic oppidum.

A short walk to discover the surroundings of Chateauneuf-sur-Isère. Part of the route is on small, quiet tarmac roads, but it is nonetheless pleasant.

Une randonnée à côté de la ville ou l'avantage de la province... Malgré un départ citadin, on sera vite tranquille dans les petits sentiers du Vallon de l'Hermet. Après un passage facile sur le plateau ardéchois, la descente sera elle aussi sur sentier et en forêt.

Take advantage of this beautiful little walk to discover the Daronne valley, with its meanders, gorges and interpretive trail. If you wish, you can extend the walk by returning to the Saint-Sorny footbridge.

A beautiful hike entirely on paths in the Daronne Gorges. A pretty, very wild spot not far from Tournon and the Rhône Valley. A local must-see. What's more, this route is not the "classic" route and is therefore a little wilder...

Over the Rhone balconies between grape vines and apricot trees, with pretty little streams.

A lovely walk through the woods in Ardèche, near Saint-Félicien, with two descents into the Daronne gorges, following part of the nature trail through this natural site. You can visit the hamlet of Saint-Sorny. On the way back, there are beautiful views of the Alps, weather permitting.

The Randocroquis de Bozas is much more than just a hike: it's a unique experience that combines walking, observation and artistic expression. Throughout this trail, which is accessible to all, you will be invited to stop at nine stations along the way. Each of these stops offers simple, educational tips on how to draw by observing the landscape, vegetation and local architecture. No need to be an experienced artist: the aim is to look at things differently, immerse yourself in nature and take the time to sketch what you see. Fun and educational, this walk will delight young and old alike, whether with family, friends or on your own, for an original discovery of the Bozas area.

A stroll through the heart of a wine estate, in peace and quiet. Walk through orchards alternating with vineyards. A relaxing walk that changes colour and character with each season.

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.

An easy hike that allows you to discover Lac des Meinettes and the trail that runs around it. A beautiful view of the Ardèche plateau above the nearby Rhône valley.

Hike near the Rhône, to the north of Ardèche. You will be surprised to find areas that are this "wild" so close to the Rhône Valley (Ardennes). At the end, the view of the Rhône and the Arras tower is a definite plus.

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

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.

This charming loop, starting from Saint-Félicien, takes you on a journey of discovery through authentic landscapes and a charming rural heritage.

This shady, refreshing passageway offers a moment of true serenity in the heart of nature. Continuing on your way, you will reach the picturesque village of Vaudevant. Nestled in the hills of the Ardèche, this small village charms visitors with its character, old stones, narrow streets and authentic atmosphere. The return to Saint-Félicien is gentle, with the rolling hills of the Haut-Vivarais as a backdrop.
