From Roche Colombe to Montagne de Couspeau

Description of the route

Start from the entrance to the “Hutopia” campsite, Chalaval district, Dieulefit. Coming from Nyons or Montélimar, head towards Bourdeaux on the D538 and turn left towards Les Vitrouillères, just after and opposite the fire station and police station. Park before the campsite entrance, along the road.

(S/E) Continue along the road, go round the barrier and carry on along the track overlooking the campsite until you reach a fork.

(1) Turn right and follow the track, which climbs gradually for 6 km, until you reach a field of lavender.

(2) The slope levels out and then becomes almost flat. Continue until you reach the start of a small path on the right, after a short climb.

(3) Turn right and you’ll soon reach the chapel.

(4) After taking in the view, return to the track.

(3) Continue to the right until you reach the telecommunications pylons.

(5) Don’t hesitate to climb to the top of the ridge, behind the pylons, to enjoy a magnificent view. Then return to the campsite entrance via the track, following the route in reverse (S/E).
