Roc d'Arguille, Mountain summit in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France
Roc d'Arguille extends to 1768 meters in elevation, featuring limestone formations and connecting to Mont Pravouta through the Pravouta pass at 1690 meters.
The summit's geological structure dates back 150 million years to the Tithonian period, forming a major anticlinal fold known as the Perquelin anticline.
The mountain sits within the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park, where local communities maintain traditional practices while protecting native flora and fauna.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Col du Coq or Habert de Pravouta, requiring approximately ninety minutes of walking time.
The northern slope contains a designated ecological zone that protects rare plant species including the Venus Lady's Slipper orchid and Monkshood flowers.
