Roc Rouge, Mountain summit in Bauges, Savoie, France.

The Négresse summit reaches an elevation of 1,720 meters within the Bauges mountain range, positioned between Belle Étoile and Dent de Cons peaks.

Local mountaineers established climbing routes on Négresse throughout the centuries, creating traditional paths through the rocky sections of the mountain.

The alternative name Roc Rouge reflects the distinct red coloration of the rock formations that are visible from the surrounding valleys.

The ascent starts from Allondaz village and involves several hours of hiking with sections equipped with metal cables and ladders for safety.

The mountain walls feature technical passages that require the use of fixed handrails to navigate exposed sections of the route.
