Les Pilles walks
Monts d'Autuche
A rugged hike offering magnificent views from a rocky outcrop.
Col Flachet from Nyons
A relatively easy mountain bike ride, although a little technical on the descent to Combe Sauve. There is little traffic on the paved sections. You will ride through broom and goats, if they are out, and can stop at Col Flachet to enjoy the view, as it will be too late afterwards, as the descent is through oak trees.
Col de Croix Rouge - Col de la Croix - Garde Grosse
This loop of around 27 km, with no major difficulties and regular climbs, allows you to discover the Nyons region and its most famous peak, Garde Grosse. The paved roads are quiet, except for cyclists. In spring, there are a few streams where you can cool off.
The Col d'Aubenas circular starting from Nyons
A half-day's walk to tire yourself out a little, circular from Nyons, surrounded by olive trees, with lovely aerial views. The route winds through the forest and then follows the River Eygues.
Around Châteauneuf-de-Bordette
A short hike that can be completed in half a day, with views of the Lance and Ventoux mountains and the Baronnies.
Essaillon Mountain
A very beautiful hike starting from Nyons. The route follows mostly marked trails (GR®9and yellowPR® markings) through oak and boxwood undergrowth. The scent of thyme often accompanies us.

The route alternates between trails and tracks, with a short section of tarmac. Much of the route is in the shade.
The Tour du Courbiou from Venterol
A walk that takes us over small mountains through pine trees, oak trees, vineyards and lavender fields. A condensed version of the Drôme Provençale starting from the medieval fortified village of Venterol with its characteristic wrought iron bell tower.
A hike to be enjoyed in spring, autumn and winter, but not recommended in summer due to the heat.
Around Benivay-Ollon
A lovely, pleasant walk in the Baronnies under the holm oaks, with magnificent views of Mont Ventoux and the surrounding peaks. The Saint-Jean d'Ollon Chapel is well worth a visit.
The Cougoir via the ridges

The route via the Col de Venterol and the Pas de la Pousterle allows you to climb the Cougoir via the southern ridge. The return journey, via the small wild path along the ridge of the Sauveginoux mountain, takes you through the mountain pastures of the Croix mountain.
Cougoir via La Montagne La Croix

Miélandre du Col de Valouse
This wild route allows you to discover the Miélandre mountain via a climb on the south side.
From the summit, you can admire the Angèle mountain pastures, the Montagne de La Croix, the Lance mountains, the Trois Becs, Couspeau and Mont Ventoux. Chamois can also be seen if you know how to remain discreet.
Beauvoisin via the six passes and the Crête des Costes
Hike starting from the village of Beauvoisin, in the heart of Drôme Provençale, nestled in its magnificent mountain setting. The Baume Noire massif, the Linceuil and Taillade mountains, the Ventoux and the Baronnies will be your landmarks throughout your walk. You will cross no fewer than six passes to return to Beauvoisin. The breathtaking views over the long Costes ridge are sure to stay with you.
From Beauvoisin to Pas de l'Estret via the 6 passes
A hike over hill and dale that will allow you to discover the natural treasures of the Drôme Provençale. Sometimes on the ridges, sometimes in the forests, you will discover magnificent nature. To be done in all seasons! You will pass no less than six passes with breathtaking views, sometimes as far as the Mediterranean, and opposite the Dévoluy.
Les Costes via the Col des Moulins and Col de la Croix
A hike between Montagne du Linceuil and Montagne de la Taillade.
First through fruit trees, cherry and apricot trees and a few vineyards, you will leave this landscape behind to climb a more arid and stony path. From the Col de la Posterle, you will walk along a ridge where you can see the world around you for 300 km. In clear weather, those in the know will be able to recognise the Pic Saint-Loup. The Ventoux will be your constant point of reference.
The Tour de l'Oulle with return via the Combe de Sauve
From the hamlet of Novézan in the commune of Venterol, a circular at the western end of the Baronnies Provençales Regional Park. Nestled between the mountains, almost entirely sheltered from the Mistral wind, this route offers a beautiful hike with varied landscapes: vineyards, pine and oak woods, mountains and rocky faults, lavender and olive groves, not to mention La Sauve and its water holes where you can cool off.
The use of the app's GPS is recommended on this route.
La Lance via Les Guilles

A lovely walk through the undergrowth and apricot and almond orchards, with beautiful views of the Ollon valley and Mont Ventoux.
Piégon and the Giants’ hamlet
In the mountains of the Baronnies, imagine a lost hamlet inhabited by giants... Skeletons with very long shins were found in the crypt of the chapel. They are the source of the name of the locality.
