Dent de Barme, Mountain summit in the Giffre massif, France.
The Dent de Barme reaches an elevation of 2756 meters within the Dents Blanches chain, situated between French Haute-Savoie and Swiss Valais.
Early alpine expeditions to this summit played a role in developing mountain exploration throughout the French Alps during previous centuries.
The mountain derives its name from Bormo, a deity that belonged to the ancient Celtic pantheon of the region.
Climbing to the summit requires appropriate equipment and is primarily conducted between June and October when weather conditions permit safe ascent.
The limestone massif of Dent de Barme exhibits geological formations that demonstrate the tectonic history of the Alps.
