Roc de Gleisin

Roc de Gleisin stands at 1,434 meters in elevation within the Chartreuse Mountains, featuring limestone formations and extensive rocky outcrops on its western side.

This peak has served as a natural territorial boundary for the Corbel district, marking important geographical divisions in the Savoie region throughout centuries.

The mountain paths connect multiple communities, including Entremont-le-Vieux and Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, creating a network of traditional Alpine walking routes.

Hikers can access the summit via the Col du Grapillon trail, with a total elevation gain of 380 meters requiring approximately three hours of walking time.

The summit contains several dolines, natural depressions in the limestone terrain that create distinct geological patterns across the mountain surface.
