Piégon and the Giants’ hamlet
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.
From Piégon to Pas de Maneyrole via the hamlet of Les Géants
A lovely walk through the undergrowth and apricot and almond orchards, with beautiful views of the Ollon valley and Mont Ventoux.
Around Benivay-Ollon
A lovely, pleasant walk in the Baronnies under the holm oaks, with magnificent views of Mont Ventoux and the surrounding peaks. The Saint-Jean d'Ollon Chapel is well worth a visit.
Saint-Jaume and Garde Grosse
A short hike in the Nyonsais hills with panoramic views of the Baronnies.
Around Saint-Romain-en-Viennois
Walk under the pine and holm oak trees in the hills above Saint-Romain-en-Viennois. There are some lovely views of Mont Ventoux along the way. Between paths and forest roads, this often shaded walk is most pleasant.
Around Châteauneuf-de-Bordette
A short hike that can be completed in half a day, with views of the Lance and Ventoux mountains and the Baronnies.
Essaillon Mountain
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
Col Flachet from Nyons
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.
Col de Croix Rouge - Col de la Croix - Garde Grosse
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.
From Beauvoisin to Pas de l'Estret via the 6 passes
A hike over hill and dale that will allow you to discover the natural treasures of the Drôme Provençale. Sometimes on the ridges, sometimes in the forests, you will discover magnificent nature. To be done in all seasons! You will pass no less than six passes with breathtaking views, sometimes as far as the Mediterranean, and opposite the Dévoluy.
Beauvoisin via the six passes and the Crête des Costes
Hike starting from the village of Beauvoisin, in the heart of Drôme Provençale, nestled in its magnificent mountain setting. The Baume Noire massif, the Linceuil and Taillade mountains, the Ventoux and the Baronnies will be your landmarks throughout your walk. You will cross no fewer than six passes to return to Beauvoisin. The breathtaking views over the long Costes ridge are sure to stay with you.
Tour du Cougoir from Aubres
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.
From Mollans-sur-Ouvèze to Pierrelongue via the Baumes des Eyguiers
The first part of this circular route involves a challenging climb, but you will be rewarded with an extraordinary site, caves to explore and superb views over the Ouvèze valley. The second part, which is easier, allows you to visit two picturesque villages and walk along the Ouvèze, with the spectacular Baumes des Eyguiers caves towering overhead like sentinels.
A unique drystone shelter and the Saint-Siffrein Chapel in Vaison-La-Romaine
A very pretty hike in the southern hills above Vaison-La-Romaine. Alternating between small paths, forest roads, footpaths and even the bed of a dry river, the route will take you to a very large drystone shelter in perfect condition, an outdoor charcoal kiln and a very old chapel. Sheltered from the mistral wind, this hike is as pleasant in winter as it is in summer.
Entrechaux and its castle
Located north-west of Mont Ventoux, in the Ouvèze plain, the village of Entrechaux is dominated by its castle, perched on top of a hill. Let's climb this hill! The view from the castle is extraordinary, and it's no coincidence!
The Tour du Courbiou from Venterol
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.
Monts d'Autuche
A rugged hike offering magnificent views from a rocky outcrop.
From Crestet to Pas du Loup
A beautiful walk through the woods below Saint-Maurice to the start of the Saint-Amand ridge.

Wine Growers' Trail through the safres of Rousset-les-Vignes
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.
