Saint-Laurent-du-Pape walks

Discover the pretty village of Beauchastel and its surrounding hills, offering beautiful views of the Ardèche, the Vercors and the Rhône valley.

Not for those allergic to tarmac! A pleasant and varied hike, some sections of which follow small tarmac roads, as is often the case in the Ardèche. The first part takes place in the forest, where only birdsong disturbs the peace and quiet of the area. The second part follows theGR®42andGR®42Btrails, offering beautiful views of the Ardèche mountains, the Vernoux valley and the Rhône valley. Pierregourde Castle is very close to this circuit.

A pleasant walk in the Ardèche countryside, sometimes on small paved roads, but also on beautiful forest paths. In Champis - La Bâtie de Crussol, a short detour will take you to the Pierre Branlante (rocking stone), then on the way back, you will see some megaliths in the meadows.

Explore the ruins of La Villette and Crussol Castle, followed by a long walk along the ridges offering views of the Rhône valley and the Vercors.
