Starting from the charming, restored hamlet of Les Damias, this secluded and varied route leads up to the Chanteduc mountain and toward the summit of Fléossier, surrounded by grassy ridges and alpine pastures (1,542 m). The route also includes two mountain passes: the Col de Branche and the Col Saint-Pierre. The 360° panorama stretches toward Mont Ventoux, the Alps, the Lure mountain, and the Buëch.

Description

At the entrance to the hamlet of Les Damias, take the trail on the left (signposted). The trail climbs up to the ridge of Mount Chanteduc and its mountain pastures. The vegetation is sparse and the view is wide open.
On the ridge, the hike is very pleasant and continues to the summit of Fléossier (1,542 m). You then begin the descent toward the Col de Branche (1,465 m).
At the pass, take the GR trail on the right, which descends back into the valley. Continue on to reach the Col Saint-Pierre.
At the Col Saint-Pierre, head toward Les Damias by taking the descending trail.
After 2 km on the trail, turn onto the small path on the right that descends through the scree.
At the trail junction, turn right toward the road leading to the hamlet of Les Damias.
At the fork, continue right toward Les Damias to return to the starting point.
