Piton de Bellefont, Mountain summit in Chartreuse, France
The Piton de Bellefont reaches an elevation of 1,876 meters in the French Alps, featuring limestone cliffs and steep rocky slopes.
The mountain paths were established during medieval times when Carthusian monks created routes between their monasteries across the Chartreuse range.
The summit stands within the Hauts de Chartreuse Nature Reserve, which preserves the natural heritage of the French Alpine region.
The ascent from Perquelin hamlet requires 4 hours of hiking with 1,090 meters elevation gain and includes technical sections near the summit.
Bearded vultures circle around the peak during summer months, making it a prime location for observing these rare Alpine birds.
