Roanne Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

These gorges are magnificent, with the Roanne, a mountain torrent with turquoise water which digs its bed in the marl-limestone rocks.

Col de Pennes

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Gorgeous collar! The road is narrow but very quiet. The slope sometimes reaches 10% and you still need to be in good physical condition to climb it by bike.

This path will allow you to follow the Drôme without exposing yourself to the adjacent departmental road.

Here you benefit from a quiet road to enjoy the landscape while connecting Chatillon-en-Diois.

Old Town of Die

Highlight • Historical Site

For many years, on the occasion of the herds going up to the mountain pastures, Die has been celebrating transhumance. For 2 days, to the rhythm of the sheep, Die is crossed by a huge herd, which then climbs to the mountain pastures of the Vercors. Meals and collective bivouacs take place in a festive atmosphere of which the land of Clairette has the secret. This happens in the month of June every year. The old town is very pleasant, and there is an atmosphere of reciprocating movement. Close to the bridge you will find an excellent cycle shop. It's good to know. here is a video that gives you an idea of the party:
