Roche du Guet, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.
The Roche du Guet rises to 1053 meters above sea level and presents steep rocky cliffs overlooking the Combe de Savoie valley below.
During the Napoleonic era from 1805 to 1814, the summit functioned as a crucial communication relay station in the optical telegraph network connecting Paris to Milan.
The mountain peak serves as a meeting point for regional hiking groups who regularly organize guided walks to teach about local Alpine flora and geology.
The hiking trail to reach the summit starts from La Thuile village, covering 380 meters of elevation gain through a marked path that takes approximately three hours.
Two orientation tables at the summit allow visitors to identify distant peaks from Mont Blanc to the Vercors range across a 180-degree panoramic view.
Elevation above the sea: 1,053 m
