Bec de l'Orient, Mountain summit in Isère, France
The Bec de l'Orient rises to 1568 meters in elevation and features limestone formations along its western ridge within the Vercors Regional Natural Park.
The C3 Camp at Gève-les-Carteaux served as winter quarters for French Resistance fighters in 1943, who monitored mountain passes against German forces.
The surrounding Gève plateau maintains 200 kilometers of Nordic skiing trails throughout the Autrans-Méaudre area, connecting local communities during winter months.
Hikers can access the summit through marked trails from the Gève parking area, completing a 10-kilometer route with 588 meters of elevation gain.
The mountain's iron cross stands at its peak, offering views across the Isère valley, Voironnais region, and Saint-Marcellin territories.
