Tête des Chats, Mountain summit in Vosges, France.

Rising to 1082 meters, Tête des Chats features granite formations and extends across the departments of Haut-Rhin in Alsace and Vosges in Lorraine.

During World War I, French troops captured this strategic height overlooking the border ridge on December 4, 1914.

The mountain includes three alpine ski runs at the Bagenelles resort, where local winter sports traditions continue through generations.

Marked hiking trails connect the summit from Col des Bagenelles and Col du Pré de Raves along the Route des Crêtes.

Former military maps designated this elevation as Signal du Bonhomme, reflecting its role as a geographical marker between regions.
