Very difficult
Departure from Teyssières (Drôme)
Easily recognisable by its long, curved shape and visible from afar, La Lance is a must-see peak in the Drôme Provençale. Le Cougoir, perched on its rocky promontory, is an excellent companion peak.
Although these two peaks are modest in height, they offer beautiful views over the Drôme and the Nyons region, particularly of the nearby Miélandre and Angèle mountains, and further south as far as Mont Ventoux.
Thishike is suitable only for walkers with a good sense of direction.
