This route offers interesting views.

Several paths cross, so you need to pay attention to the explanations, but it's hard to get lost. At one point, the outward route passes very close to the return route.
Be careful, but this ties in with the comment about paying attention to the explanations and finding the path that leads to the viewpoint.

We did it in winter: admittedly, part of the view was a little obscured, but the climb through the frosty trees was a feast for the eyes.

The hike isn't very difficult, but part of the descent is a bit steep/technical and definitely not suitable for people who want a completely "easy" hike.

Thank you for sharing.

A pleasant hike in the cold and fog. More interesting when you leave the east side and enter the frosty undergrowth, which was strange and beautiful. We were rewarded with sunshine at the summit and a beautiful 360° view over a sea of clouds in the Rhône valley. Orientation table. View of the Drôme, Ardèche, Vercors, Ventoux, etc. Admittedly, there is the hubbub of the motorway and the pylons at the summit, but this does not detract from the appeal of this hike.
However, I found it to be of medium difficulty. The climb is long and steep. The descent is just as steep and technical. The route is marked with a yellow line.
Thank you for sharing.

A very pleasant walk, with some fairly steep climbs in places. Once you reach the summit, the view is really beautiful and enjoyable (except on the side where the power stations are, of course!).

The only difficulty is finding the path that climbs up to the left towards the ridge.

A pleasant Sunday stroll with no real difficulty except for a steep climb between points 3 and 4... but you have to climb to enjoy the beautiful view.
There's a slight hesitation at the equestrian centre at point 3: don't hesitate to go in and go around the car park on the right to reach the path under the trees.
Regarding the duration: the estimated time of 2 hours 40 minutes seems a little exaggerated, as I'm not a particularly fast walker and it only took me 2 hours.
Thank you for this walk!

A little disappointed by the noise from the motorway, which accompanied us for most of the route, and by the views of the A7 motorway and the Cruas power station... Otherwise, the directions were good and the old village of Savasse is worth seeing.

A very beautiful route. I followed it in the opposite direction to the leaflet; having already done it, I had more landmarks. It was a shame the weather was a bit foggy, so it was difficult to make out the landmarks at the orientation table.

A route to be recommended.
