Lanche Close, Mountain summit in Chevaline, France.
Lanche Close is a mountain summit in the Chevaline area rising to 1,791 meters (5,876 feet). The peak sits between forested lower slopes and open alpine meadows that dominate the higher reaches.
The routes around this peak originated as shepherd trails used to move flocks between seasonal pastures across the mountain. Over time, these traditional paths developed into the marked hiking routes visitors follow today.
Local mountaineering groups maintain stone cairns across Lanche Close to mark safe passages and guide hikers through changing weather conditions.
The route passes through changing landscapes and weather conditions shift quickly at higher elevations, so sturdy footwear and layered clothing are recommended. Upper sections are exposed to the elements, making visits less comfortable during rain or strong winds.
The eastern slopes burst with alpine flowers during spring and early summer months, creating colorful meadows that bloom naturally. These seasonal displays of wildflowers attract visitors who time their visits to witness the peak flowering period.
