Les Pilles walks

A rugged hike offering magnificent views from a rocky outcrop.

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.

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.

A short hike in the Nyonsais hills with panoramic views of the Baronnies.

From its promontory, the Cougoir offers a pleasant 360° view of the surrounding mountains. 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.

From its promontory, the Cougoir offers a pleasant 360° view of the surrounding mountains. You can admire the mountain pastures of La Croix, the mountains of La Lance, Miélandre, Angèle, Les Trois Becs and Mont Ventoux.

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.

A pleasant hike to the chapel perched above Rousset-les-Vignes, which is visible from far away.

This is a beautiful hike that follows the ridges of Serre de Créma and then Serre la Tête, passing by the highest point of Rocher de la Bataille. This route offers breathtaking views that change as you walk between the Miélandre and Angèle mountains.

This walk takes you to the Saint-Blaise priory and the ruins of La Viale, as well as through ravines carved out of ochre veins.

An easy, well-marked hike that starts at the Ubrieux Gorges and continues through olive groves, vineyards, orchards and forests, not to mention a few passes and the sometimes rugged landscapes of the Baronnies.

From Buis-les-Baronnies, walk around the Rocher Saint-Julien enjoying the views of the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.

The great cliff of Rocher du Caire rises above Rémuzat. Look up and you'll see griffon vultures flying over the valley. Please note that a hiker has informed us that a municipal by-law (posted at the top) prohibits hiking in the opposite direction.

Both Mediterranean and Alpine, this contrasting hike reflects the diverse nature of the region. It includes some tricky sections, but the summit and ridges offer magnificent views. The feeling you get and the beauty of the landscapes are well worth the effort.

A classic peak in the Drôme Provençale, offering a magnificent 360-degree panorama stretching from the Rhône Valley to the Hautes-Alpes, Ventoux and Diois. The departure point from the Fontlargias lodge offers a shorter loop route than other options, on good paths with no technical difficulties.

This easy little loop allows you to discover the charming hamlet of Paulhiet. The route, with gentle slopes (both uphill and downhill), mainly follows wide paths and a few small, quiet roads. The route is mostly shaded, winding its way through woodland and hills. It is best to do this walk when the lavender is in bloom, as there are many lavender fields around Paulhiet.

The Montagne de la Lance holds a special place in the Drôme Provençale. Easily recognisable by its long curved shape, it towers over the plain at a height of 1,300 metres and is therefore visible from quite a distance. A vast panorama opens up as you reach the summit by following the ridge.

Hike around the Montagne du Ruy. View of the Jabron and Veyssanne valleys, as well as the Montagne de la Lance and part of the Montagne Angèle.

The Saracen Caves at the ruins of the old village of Béconne provide a short walk through the woods and fields of lavender and lead you on an enjoyable route among the vestiges of the past and let you indulge your imagination.

A lovely walk along the hills of the Dieulefit region.
