Departure from Sainte-Croix (Drôme) (Drôme)
The Crête de Ramiat is the flagship hike from Sainte-Croix, and rightly so!

The passage along the ridge can be tricky in short sections for those prone to vertigo and requires sure-footedness in places. However, it is possible to avoid this section without missing out on the beauty of the landscape.
