Walk around Mont Baret with access to two waterfalls. At the start of the hike, enjoy the view of the hanging houses of Pont-en-Royans. Passing through the Petits Goulets, a series of four tunnels on a narrow and very busy road, it is advisable to bring torches so that you are visible to motorists.

This moderately hilly route will allow you to discover the typical landscape of the Royans. Through meadows and walnut groves, this loop will also allow you to appreciate the charms of the villages of Saint-André-en-Royans and Pont-en-Royans (medieval streets, hanging houses, banks of the Bourne) after crossing a neighbourhood called "Le Paradis".

Very nice hike without any difficulty, with stunning views of the Pas des Voutes, Pas de la Charmate and Pas de l'Allier.

La Grande Cournouse is a citadel surrounded by cliffs upstream from Pont-en-Royan, which can be accessed via several passes. The proposed route climbs up the physically demanding Pas de Pabro, after a possible visit to the cave of the same name, then passes above the Pas des Voûtes and La Charmate, with a visit to the Mesolithic site, to reach the Pas de l'Allier, from where the descent back down is more even. Hike not possible at present: Closure of the Pas de l'Allier trail (Echevis municipality) by municipal decree.

A pleasant circuit on the western side of the Vercors, more precisely in the Royans, which takes you to a small summit offering a beautiful view of the Isère plain and the peaks of the Vercors.

Hike at the foot of the Presles cliffs for guaranteed thrills and spectacular scenery.

A climb up the north-western ridges of the Vercors. Beautiful views over the Isère valley and the walnut groves of Saint-Marcellin.

The Frochet caves are a cavity where a small lake has formed. Be sure to bring a headlamp to enjoy them. This hike is quick, the lower part of the route is easy, but the end of the route is quite steep on a narrow path.

A beautiful hike where you can see an artistic curiosity, a viewpoint over the valley and finally the Frochet caves. There is a slight difference in altitude, with some sections climbing a little, but the return after the summit is very pleasant.
