Vuache, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France.
The Vuache forms a narrow mountain range extending 14 kilometers in length with a width between 1.5 and 3 kilometers, reaching 1105 meters above sea level.
The medieval castle ruins near the summit date from the 12th century and belonged to the Counts of Geneva who controlled the region.
The protected natural area contains numerous rare plant species, including the Erythrone Dent de Chien flower that represents the local intercommunal association.
The hiking trail begins at Chaumont parking area and follows marked paths with beige metal panels displaying green letters through a 7-kilometer round trip.
From the summit, visitors observe three distinct geographic features: the Jura mountains, the Alpine range, and the Geneva basin spread across the landscape.
