Roc des Tours

The Roc des Tours rises to 1,994 meters in elevation within the Aravis massif, featuring limestone cliffs and a characteristic rocky plateau called lapiaz.

This mountain bears legends of a dried-up lake with an enigmatic stone inscription warning visitors about future sorrows and tales of drowned newlyweds.

The mountain territory belongs to the Reblochon cheese production area, where farmers traditionally practiced double milking to reduce milk taxation.

The hiking trail starts at Chinaillon at 1,280 meters elevation and follows a counterclockwise route through marked paths leading to extensive mountain views.

Near the summit, hikers navigate through an unusual limestone formation with deep fissures, requiring careful steps across uneven rocky terrain.
