Trail of the Foothills 2026

The Trail of the Foothills is your nature meet-up in Rochefort-Samson, at the foot of the ridges of the Drôme, where the trails whisper to you “one more bend and you’re going to get an eyeful” 🌿.

Here, you come to treat yourself on paths that smell like pine woods, pale stone, and the panoramas of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with a village vibe that knows how to welcome and encourage without overdoing it 🧭.

You choose your adventure: 8 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, 15 km for the “just right” format, 15 km as a duo to share the effort and the smiles (and to give yourself an alibi when it starts to sting), or 26 km to go see what “foothills” really means… ⛰️.

And after you finish, don’t rush off right away: just nearby, you can take a break in Romans-sur-Isère for a stroll and a little treat, stop by Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye (a gem of lanes and stone), or head up to the Ideal Palace of the Postman Cheval in Hauterives to end the day with stars in your eyes 🎒.
