Rochebrune, Mountain summit and free flight site in Megève, France

The Rochebrune summit reaches an elevation of 1,754 meters, offering panoramic views across the Beaufortain massif and surrounding Alpine landscapes.

The installation of France's first cable car dedicated to skiers at Rochebrune marked the beginning of winter sports development in Megève during the early 20th century.

Local families maintain traditional chalets around Rochebrune, preserving the architectural heritage and mountain lifestyle of the Haute-Savoie region.

The cable car operates from 220 route du téléphérique in Megève, providing access to both winter skiing areas and summer hiking trails.

The site functions as both a ski destination in winter and a launch point for paragliding activities throughout favorable weather conditions.
