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

Rochebrune is a mountain summit in Megève that sits at 1,754 meters and can be reached by hiking trails or cable car. From the top, you get broad views across the surrounding Alpine landscape with several distinctive mountain ranges visible in every direction.

Rochebrune forms the northern end of a ridge descending from the aiguille Croche. Its slopes now carry the ski runs and lifts of the Évasion Mont-Blanc area, and the summit holds the upper stations of the Rochebrune téléphérique and the Caboche télécabine, an altitude restaurant, an oratory, a relay antenna, an alpine farm and a free-flight take-off area.

At the summit, an oratory stands beside an alpine farm still used for summer pasture, alongside a relay antenna and the arrival stations of the Rochebrune cable car and the Caboche gondola. The name Rochebrune, "brown rock", refers to the dark rock of the summit ridge, the northern end of a crest descending from the Aiguille Croche.

The summit is served by the Rochebrune cable car from Megève and the Caboche gondola, both arriving at the top. The ski slopes and lifts belong to the Évasion Mont-Blanc area. In summer the same lifts carry hikers and free-flight pilots; check the day's operating status before setting out.
