Rochers de Leschaux, Mountain summit in Brizon, France
Rochers de Leschaux is a limestone peak in the French Alps with steep rocky faces rising to about 1936 meters. The summit provides far-reaching views across the valley and surrounding mountain landscape.
The paths around this peak developed from ancient herding routes that connected valley communities through the alpine meadows. Over time these routes became established hiking and climbing paths.
Local climbers and hikers use this area following paths that have been passed down through generations across the alpine meadows. The routes are maintained by mountaineers who share their knowledge of the region with others.
The hike begins at the Col de Solaison parking area and follows marked trails with about 510 meters of elevation gain. Plan for about four hours round trip and bring proper gear for alpine conditions.
Near the summit sits the Glacière cave which maintains ice year-round due to its specific geological formation and air circulation. This unusual feature makes the cave a memorable discovery alongside the main hiking route.
