Le Tarent

Le Tarent rises to an elevation of 2,548 meters in the western Bernese Alps, with several subsidiary peaks including Châtillon at 2,478 meters.

The mountain stands as a significant geographical marker between the cantons of Vaud and Bern, serving as a natural boundary since the establishment of cantonal borders.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular expeditions to Le Tarent, maintaining traditional Alpine climbing routes through seasonal maintenance and documentation.

Climbers access Le Tarent through Col du Pillon at 1,546 meters, where parking facilities and trail markers guide visitors toward the main ascending paths.

The mountain drains into both the Rhone basin and Western Mediterranean, creating a natural water distribution system across different regional watersheds.
