Dent Favre, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland
Dent Favre is a mountain summit in the Bernese Alps region, rising between Dent de Morcles and Grand Muveran at an elevation of 2,917 meters. The peak forms a distinctive rise in this alpine chain and can be seen from several directions across the valley floor.
The peak formed through geological processes that shaped the Alpine arc and has marked the natural boundary between Vaud and Valais since the establishment of cantonal borders. This boundary role made the mountain an important orientation point in regional geography.
Climbers from the Vaud and Valais regions value this summit for its position straddling two cantons, offering views of both sides. The ascent attracts those who appreciate standing at a border between two distinct mountain landscapes.
Access begins from the Jorasse chairlift above Ovronnaz, though no marked trail leads directly to the summit. Experienced climbers should be prepared for rough terrain and route-finding challenges.
Its layer structure shows interesting rock formations that reveal insights into alpine geology often overlooked by visitors. These geological features are subtle yet noteworthy details that attentive hikers may discover during the climb.
