Roche Parnal, Mountain summit in Glières-Val-de-Borne, France.
Roche Parnal rises to an elevation of 1896 meters, featuring a prominent hogback formation that dominates the landscape of the Haute-Savoie region.
During World War II, the nearby Chalets de Tinnaz were destroyed by Nazi forces in 1944 and later reconstructed to serve mountain travelers.
The summit serves as a gathering point for mountaineers who follow traditional Alpine hiking routes marked with PR® signs through pastoral landscapes.
Hikers can start their journey from the Chesnet parking area, following a forest path toward Chalet de Balme for a 7.8-kilometer round trip.
The mountain presents a challenging route through the Col du Cable, equipped with metal pins and cables for secure passage across exposed sections.
