Dent de Brenleire, Alpine summit in Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland.
Dent de Brenleire is a mountain peak in the Fribourg Alps with steep rock faces and a distinctive ridge. The mountain rises sharply with rough slopes at different elevations that shape the landscape of this region.
The sources document no exploration or climbing history for Dent de Brenleire; its recorded facts are geographic. At 2,354 m it is the fourth-highest summit of the Fribourg Prealps, after Vanil Noir (2,389 m), Vanil de l'Ecri (2,376 m) and Pointe de Paray (2,375 m). It forms a marked double peak with Dent de Folliéran (2,340 m) to the southwest.
The name Brenleire refers to the mountain's shape: the French word dent, meaning tooth, describes the pointed summit, and the double peak formed with the Dent de Folliéran is visible from the valley. The northeast ridge continues over the Vanil du Croset (2108 m) and the Vanil de l'Ardille (1975 m).
The climb is accessible via a marked hiking trail and requires sturdy footwear and good physical fitness. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and bring appropriate gear, especially for longer mountain outings.
