Dent de Jaman, Mountain summit in Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland.

Dent de Jaman is a summit of the Vaud Prealps reaching 1,874 metres above Montreux, in the canton of Vaud. Its western side falls away in abrupt cliffs, giving it the look of a giant canine tooth seen from Lake Geneva, while a fairly exposed path climbs to the top from the eastern side. A ridge runs from the summit past the Merdasson to the Rochers de Naye, and chamois live on its slopes.

In August 1830 three Polish romantic poets, Adam Mickiewicz, Zygmunt Krasiński and Antoni Edward Odyniec, climbed the Dent de Jaman together. The ascent is recorded in the English Wikipedia article on the mountain.

The peak gives its name to the Troupe de Jaman, a Montreux scout group. In August 1830 the Polish romantic poets Adam Mickiewicz, Zygmunt Krasiński and Antoni Edward Odyniec climbed it together, a climb still recalled in Polish literary memory.

The summit is reached on foot: the Montreux–Glion–Rochers de Naye rack railway, 10.36 km long and the highest line in the canton, stops at Jaman station after climbing 1,600 m in 55 minutes. From the station a fairly exposed hiking trail leads to the top in about thirty minutes. There is no car access beyond Caux.

A ridge runs from the summit past the Merdasson to the Rochers de Naye, and the mountain also gives its name to a Montreux scout troop, the "troupe de Jaman". In winter a ski lift serves a 1.86 km piste belonging to the Rochers de Naye ski area.
