Cime des Torches, Mountain peak in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
The Cime des Torches peak reaches an elevation of 2760 meters in the French Alps, between the Maurienne Valley and the Oisans massif.
The mapping and documentation of Cime des Torches occurred during the systematic exploration of the Grandes Rousses range in the early 1900s.
The mountain paths around Cime des Torches reflect centuries of agricultural practices, with shepherds moving their flocks through high-altitude pastures.
The ascent requires substantial hiking experience, with a 1750-meter elevation gain and multiple technical sections along the ridge from Petit Agnelin.
The summit presents an unexpected grassy plateau at nearly 3000 meters, contrasting with the typical rocky peaks of the French Alps.
Elevation above the sea: 2,760 m
