Montfalcon walks
From Montfalcon to the chapel of Serrein
Hike from Montfalcon to the Chapel of Serein in Saint-Clair-sur-Galaure through countryside and woods.
This hike is a longer version of the hike from the Chapel of Serrein to Montfalcon Castle, with different routes.
From the Serrein Chapel to Montfalcon Castle
A short, varied walk on the hillside of Saint-Clair-sur-Galaure. View of the Vercors peaks
Discover the Roybon plateau
A nice little walk that allows you to get some fresh air without getting your shoes muddy when the paths are very muddy, as it takes place almost exclusively on small asphalt roads. No difficulty, the elevation gain is very gentle and gradual.
From Marnans to the Étang des Mermes
You will walk through beautiful woodland, with a few quick views of the Pilat, Lyonnais and Vercors mountains
It's a fairly short walk, but at times it goes up and down, so it's quite demanding on the legs.
The Tram Route
Discover the old tramway line linking Saint-Marcellin (38) and Lyon (69).
From Dionay to Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye
You walk along the foothills of the Chambarans until you reach the unmissable medieval village of Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye with its famous abbey. You have constant beautiful views of the northern barrier of the Vercors.
The only difficulty is the high mileage.

The end of the route offers unobstructed views of the Vercors and Chartreuse mountains.
