Le Teil walks

The greenway was inaugurated in December 2025, for the section from Le Teil to the old Alba-la-Romaine railway station, at least supposedly. Bring a light ( headlamp or other) to go through three tunnels, one of which is 900 m long.

From the car park behind the post office in Le Teil, we set off towards the Greenway in the direction of Aubenas, covering part of the route through bridges and tunnels before returning by the same route.

Lovely view of the 11th and 12th century medieval castle of Rochemaure. Passage via the Himalayan footbridge over the Rhône. Beautiful 360° view at Pic de Chenavari, over the Vercors mountains, the Rhône valley and the Coiron plateau.

This short hike along the banks of the Rhône is suitable for families. You will be able to observe many birds along the way.

From the plain, the Serre de Montagut does not look particularly impressive, but once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Rhône valley, the Coiron plateau and the Alba-la-Romaine plain.

This hike will take you back in time as you pass by the Croix de Saint-Philippe, the Col de l'Épine and Mont Juliau, offering magnificent views along the way. Please note that you will be crossing parks with livestock. Be sure to close the gates behind you.

This lovely hike offers magnificent viewpoints over the Montmirail Dentelles, Mont Ventoux, the Baronnies, the Vercors, the Montagne Ardéchoise, the Coiron, the Necks of Sceautres, of Roche Chérie, of Roche, and a 360° panoramic view from the summit of Croix Juliau. The superb medieval hamlet of Roche is well worth the detour.

From the ancient city to the largest basalt neck in Europe, this beautiful hike takes you along a route with varied terrain: limestone plains, petrified lava blocks and the volcanic plateau of the Coiron Massif. The Sceautres neck, the jewel of the Coiron, is a basalt plug resulting from an eruption 8 million years ago. Cleared by erosion, it rises 150 metres above the valley.

Viviers, capital of the Vivarais region in Ardèche, located on the banks of the Rhône, has a beautiful architectural heritage. I suggest a walk to discover the historic centre and the port.

Head for the heights of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Rhône and the ruins of its medieval past before reaching Navon, the peak marking the boundary between Malataverne and Châteauneuf-du-Rhône: a strategic and sensational location!

This hike allows us to visit the old village of Savasse, nestled against the mountain, with its beautiful, well-renovated village houses. A climb through the boxwood trees leads to the telephone relay station with a 360° panorama: view of the Rhône valley, the plains of Montélimar and Valence, and the Saôu forest. The return trip is through the woods, with some very fragrant lavender fields in June.

A short circular loop in the Coiron massif, an extension of the Massif Central in Ardèche, which ends with an easy climb up the Neck de Sceautres on a well-maintained and secure path. The Neck, with a diameter of approximately 200 m and a height of 133 m, is the largest basalt peak in Europe, the former chimney of a volcano that formed 8 million years ago. Placed at its summit, where you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama, the statue of the Virgin Mary dominates the village nestled at its feet.

The magnificent little village of Sceautres is nestled against the imposing basalt neck, the remains of a volcanic eruption. This immense block is the lava contained in the volcano's chimney, whose cone has disappeared due to erosion.

This route runs along the foothills of the Coiron massif on existing but not very obvious paths. Follow the yellow markings carefully. The route passes through some beautiful basalt columns, crosses the plateau with its superb panoramic views, then descends via a rocky ridge to Roche Chérie: a remnant of the massif's significant volcanic past. A small chapel is built against the neck.

This route runs along the foothills of the Coiron massif on paths that are not marked on IGN maps but nevertheless exist, with very improbable markings. The path runs alongside the beautiful basalt columns or Orgues de Bauzon parallel to the Chaix stream, then climbs back up to the plateau where the panoramic views are superb. The descent via a rocky ridge leads to Roche Chérie: a remnant of the massif's significant volcanic past. A small chapel is built against the neck.

This hike is ideal for lovers of old buildings and nature. It takes you to the heights of Allan and its old village and 12th-century castle, now in ruins. It then leads into the heart of the forest, along small paths to La Croix de Siméon, erected in honour of a monk from Aiguebelle who was a missionary in Africa. Aimed at experienced hikers, this hike also offers panoramic views of Savasse and the Montélimar plain.

A long and beautiful hike through vineyards, then along the ridges of the Berg forest, offering stunning panoramic views of the Dent de Rez, the Dentelles de Montmirail, Mont Ventoux, the Baronnies, the Vercors, the Montagne Ardéchoise, and more. There are also beautiful views of the villages of Alba, Saint-Andéol de Berg, Saint-Thomé, and the Rhône Valley. To the north is the Coiron plateau with the Tour de Mirabel and Neck de Sceautres.

This hike to the ruins of Old Allan offers panoramic views of the Rhône Valley between Donzère and Cruas. The first part of the trail alternates between wide, open woodland paths and, halfway along, you will discover the Croix Siméon. The trail then becomes narrower and more winding, remaining shaded and sheltered.

From the old village of Allan to the castle of Rochefort-en-Valdaine, a beautiful hike on either side of the Citelle.
