Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes walks

A beautiful, sunny circular loop, relatively sheltered from the Mistral wind, which allows you to visit two charming villages in the Drôme Provençale. The route winds its way through vineyards and olive groves, offering beautiful views of the Valréas plain, the south-west of the Baronnies and as far as Mont Ventoux, with an original passage through the safres hills.Due to the presence of numerous trails that are not all listed on the IGN map, we recommend using the app's GPS on this route.

A pleasant hike to the chapel perched above Rousset-les-Vignes, which is visible from far away.

This walk takes you to the Saint-Blaise priory and the ruins of La Viale, as well as through ravines carved out of ochre veins.

There is a climb of nearly 900 metres to reach the summit of La Lance. This hike can sometimes be quite strenuous.

A walk that takes us over small mountains through pine trees, oak trees, vineyards and lavender fields. A condensed version of the Drôme Provençale starting from the medieval fortified village of Venterol with its characteristic wrought iron bell tower. A hike to be enjoyed in spring, autumn and winter, but not recommended in summer due to the heat.

A classic peak in the Drôme Provençale, offering a magnificent 360-degree panorama stretching from the Rhône Valley to the Hautes-Alpes, Ventoux and Diois. The departure point from the Fontlargias lodge offers a shorter loop route than other options, on good paths with no technical difficulties.

This loop of around 27 km, with no major difficulties and regular climbs, allows you to discover the Nyons region and its most famous peak, Garde Grosse. The paved roads are quiet, except for cyclists. In spring, there are a few streams where you can cool off.

A relatively easy mountain bike ride, although a little technical on the descent to Combe Sauve. There is little traffic on the paved sections. You will ride through broom and goats, if they are out, and can stop at Col Flachet to enjoy the view, as it will be too late afterwards, as the descent is through oak trees.

The buildings (or ruins) along the walk tell the story of another era dating back to the 12th century: chapels, castles, destroyed villages, a fortified farm and a water-powered factory. The vegetation varies from holm oak forest and lavender fields to apricot orchards and vineyards. Superb views of the Lance mountain and, from the Col de la Roche and the ridge above Béconne, views of the valley.

A beautiful and enjoyable walk that allows you to discover the agricultural riches and built heritage of La Roche-Saint-Secret-Béconne.

A very beautiful hike starting from Nyons. The route follows mostly marked trails (GR®9and yellowPR® markings) through oak and boxwood undergrowth. The scent of thyme often accompanies us. Much of the walk is along the ridge, offering beautiful views of Nyons, the Eygues valley and Mont Ventoux. Magnificent viewpoint at Garde Grosse

The Montagne de la Lance holds a special place in the Drôme Provençale. Easily recognisable by its long curved shape, it towers over the plain at a height of 1,300 metres and is therefore visible from quite a distance. A vast panorama opens up as you reach the summit by following the ridge.

This route is mostly shaded, in the Bois de Taulignan and along the Berre, avoiding tracks and favouring footpaths. Recommended in hot weather and especially when the lavender is in bloom, as the plateau is covered with it. Some of the route is marked with old yellow signs (PR®): plastic stapled to tree trunks or yellow paint. However, a GPS is strongly recommended to follow the route, especially between points (4) and (7) as there are many paths in the undergrowth and not all of them are marked on the IGN map. It may be preferable to follow the guidance on the OSM map for this section.

From its promontory, the Cougoir offers a pleasant 360° view of the surrounding mountains. The route via the Col de Venterol and the Pas de la Pousterle allows you to climb the Cougoir via the southern ridge. The return journey, via the small wild path along the ridge of the Sauveginoux mountain, takes you through the mountain pastures of the Croix mountain.

From its promontory, the Cougoir offers a pleasant 360° view of the surrounding mountains. You can admire the mountain pastures of La Croix, the mountains of La Lance, Miélandre, Angèle, Les Trois Becs and Mont Ventoux.

A short hike in the Nyonsais hills with panoramic views of the Baronnies.

A rocky promontory in the Baronnies, Le Cougoir offers beautiful views of the Drôme and Nyonsais regions, particularly the nearby Montagnes de la Lance, Miélandre and Angèle mountains.On a clear day, you can see as far as the Diois, Dévoluy and southern Vercors regions and the Southern Alps to the east. A loop alternating between single tracks, forest paths, pastures and ridge crossings.

Located between the Rhône Valley, the Diois and the gateway to Provence, Mont Rachas offers superb 360° views thanks to its central location. Trails and small paths, alternating between climbs and flat sections, make for a relatively easy ascent. The return journey is enhanced by a short detour to the Tour d'Alençon, a 12th-century ruin.

The Saracen Caves at the ruins of the old village of Béconne provide a short walk through the woods and fields of lavender and lead you on an enjoyable route among the vestiges of the past and let you indulge your imagination.

This loop leads to the moving ruins of the former Aleyrac Abbey. Along the way, you will enjoy views of the Grignan plain and the valley.

In the mountains of the Baronnies, imagine a lost hamlet inhabited by giants... Skeletons with very long shins were found in the crypt of the chapel. They are the source of the name of the locality.

A lovely walk through the undergrowth and apricot and almond orchards, with beautiful views of the Ollon valley and Mont Ventoux.
