Be careful, since the Cévenole episode of 10/17/24, access from the north is completely destroyed. It is possible to get through but by pushing the mountain bike.

Climbed from Serrières, passing through the vineyards to avoid the main road. A real pleasure to climb, the road is not very busy.

Basically there must have been a path on the left, after checking carefully there was none and the only way was to continue the path to the private property (you have to go through a gate then you join the road)

The Dentillon cabin offers superb views of the Crêt de l'Oeillon and the Trois Dents peaks on the west side, and of the Rhône valley and the Alps on the east side. It is forbidden to spend the night there, specifies the Roisey town hall.

Beautiful super rolling track, slight false flat descending, enough to go very quickly in small turns 😜

A pleasant path of about 4 kilometers, called the "Chemin de Ronde", lined with Cedars of Lebanon and a few sequoias, goes around this 30-hectare lake.

Built in 1858 to supply Annonay with drinking water, the Ternay dam now offers a pleasant shaded place where walkers and runners meet.
