La Buffe, Limestone summit in Vercors, Isère, France.
La Buffe reaches an elevation of 1,623 meters as the northernmost peak of the western ridge in the Vercors massif, with limestone formations.
The Mortier tunnel, constructed beneath La Buffe, remains closed due to structural collapses within the limestone formation over several decades.
The peak forms an integral part of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, marking the northern boundary of the characteristic limestone formations.
Hikers can reach the summit using a marked T2 trail system, which connects to the European long-distance path E4 network.
The summit meadow provides views of five distinct regions: Chartreuse, Voironnais, Terres Froides, Tullins Valley, and Lake Paladru.
