Les Trois Becs
Emblematic hikes in the heart of the Drôme valley
The Trois Becs are one of the most emblematic landscapes in the Drôme valley.
With their unmistakable silhouettes – the Veyou, Signal and Roche Courbe– they dominate the region, offering spectacular panoramic views between the Vercors and Drôme provençale.
From Gervanne Camping, it’s an unmissable hike for lovers of nature, wide open spaces and breathtaking views.
Hiking in Les Trois Becs
The Trois Becs can be discovered on foot, at the rhythm of walking and effort.
Several itineraries exist, adapted to different levels, but they are all mountain hikes, requiring good preparation.
Departure from the Saoû forest
This is the best-known and wildest route.
- Departure from the Saoû forest parking lot
- Gradual ascent, then more sustained
- Passage through the Pas de Siara
- Access to Veyou, highest point (1,589 m)
A magnificent course in the heart of a listed natural site, with forests, cliffs and spectacular views.

Another approach, more open and panoramic.

Les Trois Becs… seen from the sky
For a different perspective, you can also admire the Trois Becs from the sky.
A hot-air balloon flight at sunrise reveals the relief of the perched syncline of Saoû in a soft, spectacular light.
A unique experience to understand the geography of the valley and appreciate the grandeur of the landscape.
