Diois Mountains
The Diois Mountains (French: Massif du Diois, pronounced [masif dy diwa]) is a massif of the French Prealps located in the department of Drôme and the extreme south of the department of Isère.
This mountainous territory is located to the south of the Diois region, the Drôme river, and the natural and historical region of Dauphiné.
It is surrounded by the Vercors Massif to the north of the Drôme, the Dévoluy Mountains and the Bochaine Mountains to the east of Buëch and the Baronnies Massif to the south of Aigues.
Similar to the Baronnies massif, the Diois region is characterized by mid-altitude limestone mountains, a rock type also abundantly found in the Vercors. In the valleys, sandy-marl soils are predominant. Most of the summits in the area range in altitude from 1,000 to 1,700 meters. The small valleys, sometimes carved into gorges by watercourses, are oriented in various directions, creating a highly compartmentalized terrain.
The elevation increases progressively eastwards.
The biodiversity of the Diois region reflects both Mediterranean and mountainous influences.
The Diois is predominantly covered by forests consisting of downy oak, Scots pine, Austrian pine, common beech, silver fir, common box, common juniper, and laburnum.
In more open areas, common thyme, common lavender and Genista cinerea can be found.
