Roche Chevrière

Roche Chevrière is a mountain summit in the Vanoise massif located in Savoie, reaching 3280 meters in elevation. The peak features steep rocky slopes and large boulder formations running along its ridge.

The summit became protected when Vanoise National Park was established in the early 1960s. This marked an important step in France's efforts to preserve alpine natural areas.

Local mountaineers and hiking groups maintain traditional routes to the summit, preserving knowledge of safe passages through the challenging terrain.

The climb typically starts from the Plan d'Amont dam at around 2050 meters elevation. Visitors need crampons and ropes to safely navigate the snow-covered paths and steep sections.

From the summit visitors can see several notable alpine features at once. These include the Rosoire glacier, the Col du Moine pass, and the nearby Dent Parrachée peak.
