Col de l'Œillon (1233 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Col classified out of category from the banks of the Rhône, not so common outside the Alps!
Possible extension to Crêt de l'Oeillon about 15min.
Superb 360 panorama!

Gratteau Pass Viewpoint

Highlight • Other

Very beautiful belvedere which offers a 180-degree panorama of the southern slope of Pilat. We can distinguish the valley, the Rhône, the Monts d'Ardèche or even the summits of the Vercors.
