Family hike through the lavender fields of the Vercors

Museum Overview

A 3-hour guided family hike starting from the Distillerie des 4 Vallées: fragrant trails between fields of lavender, lavandin and forests, discovery of the history of the Vercors and Chamaloc, observation of biodiversity (including the reintroduction site).

This hike offers an accessible version of the Vercors: a true breath of fresh air, an olfactory immersion, and an insightful interpretation of the landscape. For three hours, a local guide will lead you along a varied route, passing through lavender fields (in bloom until the end of July), through forests, and offering panoramic mountain views.
Along the trail, you'll discover the history of the Vercors massif and the village of Chamaloc, as well as the "behind the scenes" of lavender: its cultivation cycle, flowering, ecological role, and what is actually done with this plant beyond the postcard image. The walk also incorporates a nature dimension: you'll approach the griffon vulture reintroduction site and keep an eye out for local wildlife (including beavers), gaining an understanding of the area's biodiversity.
The hike ends perfectly: a return to the distillery, a glass of artisanal lavender syrup (made with Vercors spring water), and a brief explanation of the still. A complete experience: nature, culture, local produce… with a truly convivial conclusion.
