Menglon walks

One of the few ‘countryside’ walks near Chatillon-en-Diois. This family-friendly route winds around the hills of Mont Martel and Les Bourdeaux, between the Bez stream and Les Payats. The route follows the Chemin de Saint-Martin, then descends along the right bank of the Ruisseau des Boidans, before heading towards Chatillon-en-Diois, going up the Bez valley. The circular route follows dirt tracks through vineyards, meadows, farmland, copses, orchards and walnut groves, offering beautiful views over the Diois valley, the nearby hills and the whole of the Glandasse.

A series of very easy circular walks around and through Châtillon-en-Diois, offering a wide variety of scenery: - a geological discovery trail running alongside the River Bès, - a stroll through the narrow streets of the old village, - a short walk towards the Adoux Waterfall and the Giono Forest.

This hike in the Glandasse massif takes you up to almost 1,500 metres with unobstructed views and a 360° panorama. The originality of this hike lies in the fact that the trail takes you through a pedestrian tunnel carved into the mountainside, which is a little vertiginous.

A leisurely walk, suitable for all seasons, offering the chance to discover unexpected landscapes from a hill forming a promontory between the slopes of the Glandasse and the Drôme and Bès valleys. The route presents no difficulty. It follows small, paved roads with very little traffic, stony tracks leading to a few old farmhouses, and well-marked footpaths. Wooded landscapes alternate with or border cultivated fields and vineyards. Without being overly ambitious, you’ll discover beautiful views of the Drôme valley and the Montagne de Die, as well as the Glandasse towards Laval d’Aix.

At the foot of Montagne du Glandasse, I recommend a lovely walk in the hills above Châtillon-en-Diois.

I suggest you try this lovely route through the vineyards of Châtillon-en-Diois, taking in some beautiful views (notably Pié de Bœuf, Glandasse, Piémard and La Grésière).

I suggest taking a short walk to the heights of the village of Châtillon-en-Diois to reach the Cascade de l'Adoux waterfall. The route is mainly through the woods, punctuated by some pretty views. Please note: some sections require careful footing.

A little-used, unmarked circular route requiring a good sense of direction and the ability to read the terrain; largely through woodland, across varied terrain. Narrow, exposed sections on rocky ridges require caution; a steep section on loose ground may pose a problem depending on conditions. Not recommended for young children. The route offers unusual views of the Haut-Diois and a landscape that is by turns gentle and rugged, ranging from heathland to beech wood.

The aim of this hike is to follow a good circular route from Châtillon-en-Diois to the hamlets of Ravel-et-Ferrier, then return via Serre Chanuit (1,430m), crossing six passes in the process, including the Col du Pinet.

Discover the Combe de Baïn below the cliffs of Glandasse.

A beautiful hike that takes you to the southern tip of the Vercors plateau and its vast mountain pastures. The end of the route offers superb panoramic views of the Diois and the Cirque d'Archiane.

A short walk near the village of Châtillon-en-Diois, at the foot of the Glandasse slope. A great way to discover some of the area’s distinctive landscape features and to see the village from above. The route follows the main street of the medieval village, heads up the Torrent de Baïn, before entering the state-owned forest. The path, which reaches an altitude of 760 m at its highest point, then descends towards the east, through pine plantations established in the early 20th century as part of a mountain land restoration programme. You’ll come across numerous dry-stone structures, former boundaries of agricultural terraces, or water-regulation features (dams). The path then follows an old irrigation canal and reaches the Adoux Waterfall. Finally, it is via the Chemin de Rossignol that walkers return to their starting point, on the Place du Reviron.

This lovely walk allows visitors staying in Châtillon-en-Diois to reach Die on foot, passing through vineyards and walnut groves situated in the foothills of the Glandasse, the southern outcrop of the Vercors overlooking the Drôme valley and the Baronnies. The route allows time to appreciate the uniformity of this geographical landscape, which characterises the upper Drôme and its tributary, the Bez.

The aim of the route is to reach the summit of Glandasse mountain (known as the Dôme or Pié Ferré - 2,041 metres above sea level) via an alternative routeto the GR®91: Pié de Boeuf, near the Col de Caux (overlooking the Baïn valley), Fontaine des Tuiles (dominated by the Roc d'Ambane). The return journey is via theGR®91.

A long circular walk starting from the picturesque Mediterranean village of Châtillon-en-Diois. Fabulous scenery over the Glandasse and the Vercors High Plateaus, with a bit of a challenge when it comes to navigation. It is possible to spread the walk over two days by stopping for the night near the magnificent Pas de l’Aiguille.
