Rocher de Baconnet, Mountain peak in Vercors Massif, France.
The Rocher de Baconnet reaches an elevation of 1,359 meters and features steep rocky slopes that contrast with the surrounding alpine meadows.
Local mountaineering clubs established the first marked trails to Rocher de Baconnet during the early 20th century to promote alpine exploration.
The summit serves as a meeting point for annual geological surveys where researchers study the regional rock formations and document environmental changes.
Hikers can reach the summit through a moderate 9.75-kilometer loop trail starting from the hamlet of Chauplane, with clear markers along the route.
The mountain displays an unusual pattern of horizontal rock layers that become particularly visible during sunrise and sunset hours.
