Dent de Perroc, Mountain peak in Valais, Switzerland
The Dent de Perroc rises to an elevation of 3,676 meters, featuring steep rock faces and a prominent west ridge in the Pennine Alps range.
Mountaineers began exploring and documenting the routes to Dent de Perroc's summit during the expansion of Alpine climbing in the late 19th century.
The mountain's name derives from local dialect, where 'perroc' refers to its tooth-like formation, reflecting the regional linguistics of the Valais canton.
Climbers access the peak from Arolla village, following a path to Cabane de la Tsa before navigating technical sections requiring rope and climbing equipment.
The summit position between Arolla Valley and Mont Miné Glacier creates distinct microclimates on different faces of the mountain throughout the climbing season.
