Roche Fleurie, Mountain summit in Orelle, France
Roche Fleurie is a mountain summit in the Cerces Massif near Orelle that rises to 2,573 meters above the valley. From here you look down over the Orelle forest and the Bissorte reservoir.
This summit served as an important landmark for people traveling through the Alps long ago. The rocks contain stone layers from ancient geological periods.
An orientation table near the Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel in Orelle displays this peak under the name Rocher Fleuri.
The climb starts in Orelle and follows the Prec track toward the Bissorte reservoir, taking about an hour. The terrain is rocky and exposed, so be ready for changing weather conditions.
A massive rockfall of roughly 10,000 cubic meters occurred in 2023 from the cliff face. This was the largest such event on the French railway network in several decades.
