Rochefort-Samson walks
Around the Combe d'Oyans
A short walk around the Combe de Saint-Genis with the cliffs of Musan, Épenet and Pierre Chauve and the Romanaise plain in the background.
Between Monts du Matin and Combe d'Oyans in Rochefort-Samson
A very pretty and long hike around the Combe d'Oyans with beautiful panoramic views of the cliffs of Musan, Pierre Chauve and L'Epenet. The ruins of Rochefort-Samson Castle offer a beautiful view of the valley. Information board at the summit.
Pas de Bouvaret - Pas de la Pierre
A very pretty loop from the hamlet of Les Ducs, crossing the Pas de Bouvaret and then the Pas de la Pierre, offering superb views of the Rhône valley, the Vercors and the Ardèche.
Château Gaillard- La Cizeranne
This hike is a variation of Château Gaillard to Saint-Mamans. It is a little more challenging, a little longer and has fewer tarmac roads. But it still offers beautiful views of the Musans mountains and the Valence plain.
Tour of Pélafol Castle
The stronghold of the bishops of Valence, whose rights to this castle were confirmed in 1238 by the German emperors, Pellafol has always had the same lords as Barbières, although it had a different suzerain. This 8.5 km circuit takes you around the castle in Barbières, via the Col de la Sambie.
The Pas de Saint-Vincent, Pierre-Chauve and the Col de Tourniol
While the Pas de Saint-Vincent and Pierre-Chauve are classics in the area, the route described here is less so... You'll need strong legs to climb the 300 m ascent below the Pas, save some energy to reach the summit of Pierre-Chauve, and a good sense of direction to reach Tourniol... but what a treat for the eyes!
Grotte des Fées, Crête des Vachères, Grotte des Ussets and Crête de Mussan
A "wild" route at the start, two caves to visit and a magnificent panorama to admire from the Montagne de Mussan, covering a large part of the Vercors, make this hike well worth the effort.
Vachères - Montagne de Musan - Pré de Cinq Sous circular from Beauregard
Large circular route covering the main ridges delimiting the upper basin of the Portail de Beauregard: ascent via the wild Vachères (off-trail), passage through the Cols de Sonnaize, Pas du Loup and Tourniers, steep climb to Pas de la Pierre to cross the long and beautiful ridge of Montagne de Musan to Pas Pourceau, descent via the "Pré de Cinq-Sous", the Cols des Cordeliers and Marchands, finally the Ravin de Combins to the Passage du Tour and return to the village via the Portail.
Pas du Loup circular starting from Beaurgard-Baret
A very pleasant short hike. Much of the hike is in the shade. The view of the Vercors is magnificent when you reach Pas du Loup.
Le Pré de Cinq Sous via Saragaillard and Ravin des Goulets
A variation on the classic hike via the Col des Marchand (which it avoids), less demanding in terms of difficulty and duration than the usual routes, this loop takes you along good paths and trails to the Pré de Cinq Sous, returning via the Ravin des Goulets and the luminous Ravin de Tête d'Homme.
On the Sentier des Poilus, in Saint-Vincent-la-Commanderie
This route, in tribute to the Poilus of the commune who died in combat in 1914-1918, was created to mark the centenary of the armistice. It will allow you to explore various neighbourhoods of the commune of Saint-Vincent-la-Commanderie where these Poilus lived and to appreciate the beauty of the landscapes at the foot of the Monts du Matin.
Cross of Saint-Vincent-la-Commanderie
Hike to climb to the Cross of Saint-Vincent-la-Commanderie. Circular starting at the Auberge des Templiers (opposite the village church). Half road / half trails.
The Cascade du Dégoutte-Eau waterfall
This is a short walk in the Vercors to a little-known waterfall, which unfortunately dries up in summer and autumn. To get there, you will follow wide paths through a rugged or open landscape, surrounded by small mountains, green meadows and fragrant undergrowth. This is not a circular walk, but a round trip. The outward journey is a constant and sometimes steep climb. Logically, the return journey is much easier.
In the footsteps of the Knights Templar in Saint-Vincent-la-Commanderie
Saint-Vincent had a commandery inthe 13th century. "In the footsteps of the Knights Templar" is an easy walk at the foot of the Rochers de Treillaras cliffs, often on the edge of the woods, over gently rolling terrain with beautiful views of the plain.
The Musan mountain in Beauregard-Baret
Almost entirely through undergrowth and forest, this pretty, fairly challenging hike offers beautiful views of the Vercors and the Romans valley on a clear day. The ridge route, passing by the Rocher de Chantemerle where the Beauregard TV transmitter is located, is a succession of ascents and descents, sometimes close to or far from the cliffs, sometimes over rocks or sharp limestone pavement.
Bois Vert from Meymans
Between small country roads and forest paths, this short route allows you to discover the surroundings of Meymans.
The heights of Meymans and the Ravin des Combes
An unusual hike starting from the village of Meymans, along the ridge at the start with a return via the Ravin des Combes.Important: the passage through the ravine is quite technical and unmarked. Follow the path that seems obvious on either side of the small stream, which can be a little difficult to cross after heavy rain.
