Mont de Grange

Mont de Grange reaches an elevation of 2432 meters and forms a notable pyramid with four distinct ridges: Coicon, Belair-Pertuis, Trois Evèques, and Mattes.

The mountain received its name 'Grange', which translates to grumpy, because of its dominant position casting long shadows over the Abondance valley below.

The mountain stands as part of the Natura 2000 network, a European system of protected areas that maintains natural habitats while allowing sustainable human activities.

Visitors can access the summit exclusively through hiking trails from mid-June to mid-September, with the Coicon Crest offering the most straightforward route.

The mountain serves as a natural habitat for diverse wildlife, including chamois, marmots, ptarmigan, and foxes, alongside numerous mountain flower species.
