Saint-Clair-sur-Galaure walks

A short, varied walk on the hillside of Saint-Clair-sur-Galaure. View of the Vercors peaks

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.

This walk takes you around the small La Pérouse valley between Viriville and Marnans. On the way there, you climb up to the Madonna of Sainte-Baudille.

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.

An easy walk on the moraines overlooking Lens Lestang. You alternate between walking in the woods and in open country. On the way there, you can see the Pilat and Ardèche mountains and the Beaurepaire plain. On the way back, as you turn around, you can admire the peaks of the Vercors, the Alps, the Chartreuse and Mont Blanc (weather permitting...).

You will cross the Valloire plain, surrounded by fields and orchards in Lens Lestang, until you reach the Priory of Manthes. Information boards tell you about mulberry and pear trees. Then you climb up to the Madone de Moras and return along a path well sheltered from the sun, along the moraine. On the way, you can admire the Château du Double.

Discover the old tramway line linking Saint-Marcellin (38) and Lyon (69).

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.

Walk starting from Dionay Town Hall. Set off to explore the tramway and the Chambarans National Forest. The end of the route offers unobstructed views of the Vercors and Chartreuse mountains.

This route is very pleasant in summer due to the coolness of the undergrowth. In spring and autumn, it offers a diversity of colours and scents for our visual and olfactory enjoyment. There are several points along the route where you can enjoy views of the Beaurepaire plain. TO ALL HIKERS (SES) WHO FOLLOW MY HIKES, you can post photos indicating the location on the route.

This route takes you across fields, but very often on small tarmac roads, allowing you to discover what the environment of Facteur Cheval might have been like. Perhaps some parts of the route were even part of his daily rounds!

Immerse yourself in the Chambaran Forest from the Trappe. Head to Gargamelle, a ruin in a clearing, to see the Smurfs or, if not, deer or roe deer. Walk part of the Way of St James in Chambaran. Please note: this is an old, manual GPS track, see reviews

An easy walk, despite the distance. You will walk either through the heart of the plateau's crops or through woods. To finish, you will descend the very pretty Grand Suzon valley. The stream is often dry, but... not always! If the weather is clear, you can enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

In the region famous for walnuts, along the tracks of the old tramway from Lyon to Saint-Marcellin and among various church buildings. Magnificent panoramic views over the Chartreuse, Vercors and Mézenc mountain ranges.

A walk well known to Beaurepairois residents: the first 500 metres are very popular with families with children. For a brisk walk, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes, and for walkers, allow 35 to 40 minutes.

Une boucle qui permet de rejoindre Dionay par la Combe de l'Enfer, la voie du tram et le retour par Saint-Jean de Fromental. Une belle ballade en famille pour découvrir la nature et le patrimoine.

Randonnée qui permet de découvrir la Forêt de Thivolet au départ du village en passant par la Combe de l'Enfer et la Combe de Fontfroide.

Petite balade autour de Saint-Antoine passant par l'Étang de Chapaize et les bois. Idéale en famille pour découvrir le village et ses alentours.

This is an easy hike, except for its length. It will take you through woods, walnut orchards and fields on the southern slope of the Chambarans. Beautiful views of the Vercors.
