Bois de la Turche, Mountain summit in the French Alps, Haute-Savoie, France
The Bois de la Turche rises to 1314 meters in elevation and features a 4.9-kilometer hiking trail through forested areas in the Chablais mountains.
The name La Turche derives from a Germanic term meaning narrow passage, reflecting the historical linguistic exchanges in this Alpine border region.
The summit exists within an active Alpine pasture landscape, where traditional farming practices continue alongside hiking activities.
The trail starts at Les Puthays hamlet, near La Turche ski lift, requiring approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes of walking with a 340-meter elevation gain.
Hikers cross pasture zones where herds graze freely, requiring careful attention to closing gates to maintain local pastoral activities.
