Eclassan walks

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.

On the outskirts of Sarras, the Ay river winds its way through a gorge that can be seen from certain points along the route, offering beautiful views of a unique landscape of cliffs and rocks.

The route skirts the Rhône valley through valleys, streams and orchards. A very pleasant corner of the Drôme.

Starting from Talencieux, the route passes by Lac de Vert, then the Midon tunnel and a short detour through the countryside before returning to the old railway line to cross the Thorrenc Viaduct, the Thorrenc Tunnel and the Thorrenson Viaduct. Don't forget a headlamp or other light for crossing the two tunnels.

Take a short detour through the Cance Valley, Roche Péréandre and the legend of André, then cross the suspension bridge over the Cance.

A pleasant walk that will allow you to discover small hamlets, some restored, others not... A glimpse of northern Ardèche, not far from Annonay.

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

Charming village with a beautiful castle (private), a large viaduct from an old railway line that ran from Firminy to Saint-Rambert d'Albon.

In a wood near Saint Barthélémy de Vals, these rocks form a group of 51 blocks arranged in three roughly concentric circles covering nearly 6 hectares, hence the name "Cromlech de la Roche qui danse" (Dancing Rock Cromlech). Legend has it that "at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, the rocks begin to dance". Please note: see the practical information section.

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...

A discovery from Deyras of the wild valleys of the Jointine, the Daronne and the Doux to the Clauzel Dam.

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.

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.

Discover the vineyards of Tain-l'Hermitage by following the information panels on the "Sur les Pas de Gambert" trail created by the Cave de Tain.

This is a lovely little loop to enjoy Montmiandon, with a beautiful view of the Annonay basin. The elevation gain is low, but it offers a very pleasant view of Annonay. Much of the trail is in the woods, making it possible to do this loop even when it's hot.
