Montagne d'Ambel, Mountain summit in Vercors massif, France
Montagne d'Ambel reaches an elevation of 1811 meters and features limestone cliffs with steep slopes typical of the Vercors mountain range.
The mountain paths have served as traditional livestock migration routes between valleys and high-altitude pastures for hundreds of years.
The mountain environment maintains populations of alpine flowers and chamois goats, which form part of the natural heritage of Vercors.
Hikers access the summit through a marked trail from Saint-Julien-en-Quint, covering 24 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1360 meters.
The Ambel plateau contains specific geological formations created by limestone erosion and provides habitat for numerous rare plant species.
