Sommet de Roche-Chalve, Mountain summit in Vercors Massif, France
Rising to 1038 meters above sea level, Sommet de Roche-Chalve presents a prominent silhouette within the Dauphiné Prealps mountain range in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
The mountain area served as a natural fortress during World War II, providing strategic positions for resistance fighters in the Vercors region.
Local shepherds maintain traditional alpine farming practices around the mountain slopes, contributing to the preservation of regional cheese-making methods.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the main path beginning at the nearby village parking area.
The geological formation contains specific limestone layers that reveal marine fossils dating back to the Jurassic period.
