Roc des Bœufs

Roc des Bœufs is a limestone peak that rises above the surrounding landscape with steep rocky slopes. The summit ridge offers views across the lake basin and surrounding mountain ranges of the French Alps.

The ridge has been part of pastoral routes for centuries, used by herders moving livestock between valley floors and mountain pastures. These ancient passages shaped the trails that exist today.

The mountain serves as a backdrop to rural life in the Bauges region, where farming communities have organized their settlements around seasonal passages. Visitors can observe how the landscape shapes the rhythm of local activities.

The climb is steep and exposed, so sturdy shoes and water are necessary. Weather changes quickly in the mountains, so check conditions before setting out.

The ridge features natural rocky formations with narrow passages that create openings to the sky. These unusual shapes were carved by wind and weathering over many centuries.
