Grane walks

From the Bois de la Dame, formerly owned by the Poitiers family, to the Pierre Sanglante, on the border of three cantons, you will enjoy an unusual view of the western part of the Saoû syncline.

Discover the Ramières du Val de Drôme Nature Reserve on a flat route. The first few kilometres of the walk are accompanied by information boards about the environment.

A short, easy and very pleasant family walk in the forest.

A flat hike along the Drôme to its mouth at the Rhône. Discover unspoilt nature with its fields, hedges and pretty paths along the dykes. You will see the fish pass, the Viarhona cycle route, swans, great cormorants and more. Avoid in winter when there are strong north winds.

A pleasant trail on the heights of the old village of Livron allows you to discover a small chapel hidden in the woods, the Tour du Diable watching over the Drôme and beautiful panoramic views of the southern Vercors. The return trip is peaceful along the banks of the Drôme.

From the ramparts to the Drôme, this hike will allow you to discover the hilltop village of Old Livron, the panorama of Mont Rôti and, at the water's edge, the Ramières Nature Reserve.

A pleasant walk in the hills above Crest offering beautiful views of the southern Vercors, the peaks of the Saoû Forest, the Ardèche mountains and the Drôme valley. As a bonus, you can explore Crest and its heritage at the start and end of the walk.

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.

Family walk behind the highest keep in France: you will walk along ridges and enjoy an unforgettable panorama of the Vercors mountains, the Trois Becs and the Ardèche plateau.

An easy family walk in the vast Marsanne Forest. Beautiful views of the Vercors.

From the beautiful village of Marsanne, take a walk along wide paths in the forest of the same name.

This route will take you along the entire length of the Payre cycle path, which starts in Pouzin and ends in Privas, the gateway to the Monts d'Ardèche Natural Park. The route starts from the car park in the small village of Les Petits Robins, near the Rhône. You will cycle part of the way along the Via Rhôna to Le Pouzin, which you will cross, before rejoining the La Peyre cycle path on the outskirts of the village.

Following paths and small tracks, mostly through woodland, this walk offers some beautiful views and the remains of an ancient hilltop fortified village. The top of the village, where three crosses stand, offers a magnificent viewpoint with an orientation table. There is a 270° panorama of the foothills of the Vercors and Diois, Roche Colombe, the Trois Becs, the Montagne de Couspeau, the northern Rhône valley and the Ardèche mountains.

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.

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.
