Bec de la Scia, Mountain peak in Chartreuse massif, France
The Bec de la Scia rises to 1366 meters in elevation and features steep slopes overlooking the Perquelin valley within the Chartreuse natural park.
The access paths to Bec de la Scia were established during the 19th century by local foresters for timber exploitation in the region.
An orientation table installed at the summit helps hikers identify the main peaks of the Chartreuse massif and surrounding Alpine mountains.
The ascent from Les Essarts hamlet follows a yellow-marked trail with 550 meters of elevation gain, including a cable-equipped passage.
The summit provides a central position in the massif for observing Grand Som, Chamechaude, and Dent de Crolles peaks simultaneously.
