Roche Noire, Alpine summit in Vanoise massif, France

The Roche Noire peak reaches an elevation of 3060 meters and forms part of a ridge extending from Mont Thabor in the French Alps.

The mountain stands as a testament to geological formations shaped during the Alpine orogeny, creating the characteristic sedimentary rock structures visible today.

Local mountaineering clubs maintain detailed records of climbing routes and seasonal conditions, contributing to the regional outdoor sports documentation.

Access to Roche Noire requires proper climbing equipment, with the main starting point located at Valmeinier 1800 offering multiple approach routes to the summit.

A small glacier adorns the eastern face of Roche Noire, while several mountain lakes, including Lac Pepin, dot the surrounding landscape.

Elevation above the sea: 3,060 m

GPS coordinates: 45.15000,6.53333
