Route 18 - The tour of the mountain of Plates
Add to my favorites
Route opened
parcours

Climb up high to discover several must-see spots in this area. After going through the Gorges d'Ubrieux, you will go up by a wide track until you pass by the Milmandre path while enjoying the view of the surrounding mountains. You will then join a super monotrace that goes through the Col de Malpertuis before the descending and returning to the starting point by a portion of the road.

The areas you are about to take cross a Natura 2000 area, known for its remarkable biodiversity. You too, participate in its preservation by adopting an eco-responsible attitude. North of Buis-les-Baronnies, the Ouvèze has pierced a limestone rocky bar, and cut small gorges. Well known to climbers, they are also very popular with birds. In recent years, the griffon vulture has returned to occupy the cliffs below the castle of Ubrieux. A little further, on the Montagne des Plates, rocks, scree and cliffs welcome several species of birds not frequent. Thus, as early as April, the discreet Blue Robin launches from the rocky ridge its fluty and melancholic stanza.
