Signal de Nave, Limestone summit in Vercors massif, Isère, France.
Signal de Nave is a limestone summit in the Vercors range with rocky cliffs and open views. The peak overlooks the surrounding valleys and lower elevations of the Isère region.
The peak served as a navigation landmark for shepherds and valley dwellers across many generations. It was a well-known visual reference point for finding one's way in the high elevations.
The walking paths around the summit reflect how shepherds have traditionally used these high pastures, shaping the landscape over many generations. Visitors can still see signs of this working mountain life as they hike through the area.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with options for various skill levels. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and weather conditions at higher elevations can change quickly.
On clear days, the views stretch far into the lower plains, reaching toward Romans-sur-Isère and the surrounding flatlands. This sweeping perspective shows how dramatically the mountains rise from the valleys below.
