Description

This is the most western peak of Chartreuse which belongs to the so-called French prealps. It may be easily climbed from the east face. West face is a steep limestone cliff tougher to climb. Chartreuse is well-known for its delicious long-life Elixir de la Grande Chartreuse, 70° of alcohol, made by monks from hundreds of moutain flowers.

Thanks to Jean Bourdariat for this description.
