Bec Charvet, Mountain summit in Chartreuse Mountains, France
Bec Charvet is a mountain summit in the Chartreuse range, rising to 1,738 meters (5,702 feet). The peak sits surrounded by forested slopes and rocky outcrops that define this section of the massif.
Bec Charvet's north face once carried two ski lifts, installed from the Col du Coq; the equipment has since been dismantled. The summit and its south face now lie within a type I natural zone of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest covering the Manival gorges. The summit rock is Kimmeridgian limestone, laid down about 150 million years ago.
