Roc des Ombres, Mountain summit in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
Roc des Ombres reaches an elevation of 1,603 meters and features basalt and conglomerate geological formations within the Massif Central mountain range.
The summit has long served as a geographical marker for the source of the Maronne River, which originates at 1,430 meters near its slopes.
The mountain forms part of the Monts du Cantal, a region where traditional pastoral activities and mountain farming practices continue across generations.
Hikers can access the summit through multiple marked trails, with a challenging loop route that includes an elevation gain of 1,168 meters.
The north-eastern face of Roc des Ombres offers mountaineering opportunities and connects three distinct communes: Le Falgoux, Saint-Paul-de-Salers, and Le Fau.
