Croix de la Coche, Mountain summit and viewpoint in Barberaz, France.
Located in the Chartreuse Mountains, Croix de la Coche reaches an elevation of 750 meters with a stone cross marking its position at the peak point.
The mountain pass served as a vital communication route between the villages of Barberaz, Saint-Baldoph, and Montagnole, eliminating the need for extended mountain detours.
The term 'coche' originates from Savoyard dialect, indicating a mountain pass that connected different communities within the Savoy region of France.
Visitors can access the summit through a 6.78-kilometer loop trail starting from Barberaz, featuring red, white, and yellow trail markers for navigation.
The location provides views extending from Chartreuse to Bauges, with visibility of Mont-Saint-Michel, Galoppaz, and the Belledonne mountain ranges from different vantage points.
