Rocher du Bonhomme, Mountain summit in Les Contamines-Montjoie, France
The Rocher du Bonhomme reaches an elevation of 2,599 meters and features geological formations composed of cargneules, argillites, and quartzites in the Mont Blanc massif.
The rock sediments date back to the Triassic period of the Alps, when the region was covered by sea while Mont Blanc formed an elevated surface.
The Rocher du Bonhomme marks a significant stage of the Tour du Mont Blanc, a recognized hiking trail that crosses through three Alpine countries.
Hikers can reach the summit from Les Contamines-Montjoie by following a marked trail that passes through the Col du Bonhomme at 2,329 meters altitude.
The singular sandstones present at the site reveal major geological changes, with eroded base elements incorporated into the Middle Lias formation.
