Mont Charvin, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
Mont Charvin rises to 2207 meters within the Arves massif, featuring a steep slope after Aulp de Marlens and multiple switchbacks along the rocky terrain.
The mountain paths around Mont Charvin developed over centuries as local shepherds moved their flocks between valley pastures and higher altitude grazing grounds.
The mountain forms part of the traditional pastoral landscape where farmers maintain ancient practices of seasonal livestock movement through mountain pastures.
The round-trip hike covers 9 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1040 meters, requiring approximately 4 hours to complete from the Sardoches parking area.
The summit provides direct views of Mont Blanc while offering opportunities to observe Gypaète vultures soaring near the rocky outcrops.
