Mont Bichet

Mont Bichet rises to an elevation of 1,360 meters within the Préalpes médianes nappe, featuring a combination of grassy slopes and forest paths.

The mountain holds remnants of old alpine pastures, including the Moan settlement at 1,050 meters, which served as a resistance fighters' route during World War II.

The surrounding area maintains traditional Alpine farming practices, with former dairy production sites and historical chalets scattered across the mountainside.

Hiking trails to Mont Bichet start from La Chapelle-d'Abondance, offering clear markers and parking facilities for visitors planning their ascent.

The mountain contains multiple abandoned settlements, including Sur les Monts at 1,126 meters, where old shepherd huts stand as reminders of past alpine life.
