Dent Blanche, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland
The Dent Blanche reaches an elevation of 4,357 meters and presents four distinct faces with ridges aligning to cardinal directions in the Swiss Alps.
Thomas Stuart Kennedy and William Wigram, accompanied by guides Jean-Baptiste Croz and Johann Kronig, completed the first ascent of Dent Blanche in July 1862.
The mountain name translates to White Tooth in French, while German maps formerly labeled it as Weisszahnhorn, reflecting the linguistic diversity of Valais canton.
The Cabane de Dent Blanche at 3,507 meters and Schönbielhütte at 2,694 meters serve as primary bases for mountaineers attempting the ascent.
Located at the convergence of Val d'Hérens, Val d'Anniviers, and Mattertal valleys, Dent Blanche marks the boundary between French and German speaking regions.
