Hiking - Archeotrail : the craftsmen of Prehistory
From the Museum of Prehistory, you will walk up to the ridges of Vassieux where you will have a wide panorama on the Diois and the high plateaux of the Vercors.
From the But Saint-Genix to the Vassieux pass and from west to east, you can gaze at the vast lawns of Font d'Urle and Ambel where Mesolithic (9,500-5,500 BC) and Neolithic archaeological sites (5 500-2 500 BC) were uncovered.
Circuit developed in partnership with Paleotime
The first part of the hike takes place mainly in a pleasant forest environment, before reaching the shelter of the pass of Vassieux then the crest and the summit of the But Saint-Genix (1,643m). After enjoying the magnificent view, the return to the Museum of Prehistory is always along the edge before returning to the undergrowth.
You are on summery areas, maybe you will meet protective dogs, often Patous. Always be sure to bypass the herds, while remaining calm while the dog identifies you, not caressing or threatening him. If you have a dog, hold it on a leash.
Use the passageways to cross the fences, close the gates and barriers.
Staying on marked trails also means respecting private property.
