Roc de Tavaneuse, Mountain summit in Vallée d'Abondance, France
The Roc de Tavaneuse rises to 2156 meters in elevation, featuring steep paths through forest areas before reaching exposed rocky terrain near the peak.
Local shepherds established traditional routes to the summit during the 19th century, creating paths that connected mountain pastures to the valley below.
The mountain serves as a symbol of Alpine heritage, where generations of mountaineers have developed specific climbing techniques adapted to its limestone formations.
The ascent takes approximately 5 hours over 8 kilometers from Prétairié parking lot, with the trail currently modified due to a 2023 landslide closure.
A turquoise mountain lake sits beneath the cliffs, reflecting the surrounding peaks including the Petite Pointe du Piron and Col de Tavaneuse.
