A very challenging circuit to climb one of the 1st summits of the Baronnies. From the top of its 1210m, Cougoir mountain offers an unforgettable 360° panorama of the Drôme provençale, the Ventoux, the Rhône valley and the peaks of the Hautes-Alpes.

Point 1: Place de la libération/ Office de tourisme (km 0) Point 2: Cross departmental road 538 (km 6.2 - 400m) Continue straight on, following signs for "Combe de Sauve". Point 3: Col de Venterol (km 11.5 - 635m) Turn right and pass behind the large farm. Climb to the Col de Venterol (beware: difficult climb with steep gradients). Point 4: Sommet de Cougoir (km 17.6 - 1190m) Magnificent view of the Ventoux, the Cougoir and Aubres valleys. Continue following the black n°7. A portage at the end of the route, but at the summit, a well-deserved rest and a 360° view of the Drôme provençale. Point 5: Col de la Pause (km 18.9 - 988m) Cross the field to the left to join the descent to Les Audries. Point 6: Ferme des Audries (km 20.2 - 815m) Beware of herds! Point 7: La piste (km 21.5 - 635m) Continue straight ahead on the track.
