Petite Sœur Sophie

The Petite Sœur Sophie peak stands at 2059 meters in elevation, featuring steep rock faces and offering views across the Vercors mountain range.

The summit became a reference point for local mountaineers who established multiple climbing routes through the Sultanes corridor during the development of alpine activities.

The mountain forms part of the Vercors massif, where French resistance fighters used the complex terrain network during World War II operations.

Hikers reach the summit through a challenging 5-hour trail starting from 1309 meters, covering 920 meters of vertical ascent through forest paths and rocky sections.

The mountain contains a specific geological formation called the Sultanes corridor, which creates a natural passage through vertical limestone cliffs.
