Rocher de la Davie

This 3087-meter peak in the Haute-Tarentaise region features steep slopes and exposed ridges surrounded by extensive snowfields throughout most seasons.

The mountain received its first documented winter ascent in the early 20th century when local guides established routes for accessing the challenging northern faces.

Local mountaineers gather annually at Rocher de la Davie to maintain traditional climbing techniques and share knowledge about alpine navigation methods.

Climbers access the peak from Le Villaret des Brévières, following a 12-kilometer route with 1560 meters of elevation gain through marked trails.

The summit accumulates more snow than neighboring peaks due to its specific position, creating distinct winter climbing conditions compared to surrounding mountains.
