Pic de Tenneverge, Mountain summit in Chablais Massif, France and Switzerland.
Description
Pic de Tenneverge is a 2,985 meter summit composed of sedimentary rock with distinct geological patterns visible across its face. The rock layers show clear variations that reveal the mountain's complex geological history.
History
The mountain marks a natural border between France and Switzerland, with its peak positioned about 300 meters west of the international boundary. This location has made it a geographic reference point for both nations.
Culture
The mountain connects two regions with different traditions: the French Haute-Savoie department and the Swiss canton of Valais through mountain paths. People from both countries use these routes to move between communities and share outdoor experiences.
Practical
Experienced hikers can reach the summit through a T5-classified alpine trail that demands advanced skills and proper safety equipment. Good weather conditions and physical preparation are essential for a safe ascent.
