Pointe de la Beccaz, Mountain summit in Saint-Ferréol, France

Pointe de la Beccaz reaches an elevation of 2038 meters and forms part of the Bornes Massif within the Savoy Prealps mountain range.

A lignite mine operated beneath the adjacent Crêt des Mouches peak during the 1790s before miners discovered more accessible deposits in Entrevernes.

The alpine meadows near the Arclosan chalets maintain traditional mountain farming practices where local shepherds bring their herds for summer grazing.

The challenging 7.6-kilometer round trip to the summit requires five hours of hiking with a total elevation gain of 1038 meters.

The mountain peak sits on raised edges of a perched syncline formation, surrounded by Urgonian limestone cliffs and Hauterivien geological terrains.
