Mont Bichet, also known as Les Trables and, formerly, La Crêche, is a mostly wooded mountain in eastern France belonging to the Chablais Alps. Mont Bichet is the Haute-Savoie department and is surrounded by the three communes of the Brevon valley, Bellevaux, Lullin and Vailly. Its elevation is 1,360 m (4,460 ft). Its slopes include many former alpine pastures, now in ruins, covered by woodland and heavily populated with game animals. The alpine pastures on the mountain to its south at Sur les Monts fall from a ridge line with a height of 1,345 m (4,413 ft) which extends southwest to the peak of Narmont at 1,367 m (4,485 ft) high.
