Rocher de Chalves, Mountain summit in Chartreuse Mountains, France
The Rocher de Chalves reaches an elevation of 1656 meters and features steep limestone cliffs rising above the dense forests of the Chartreuse range.
The Rocher de Chalves has served as a geographic marker for local communities since medieval times, when residents used its profile to determine property boundaries.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes, contributing to the preservation of alpine meadows and native plant species.
