Pic de Tenneverge

Pic de Tenneverge, Mountain summit in Chablais Massif, France and Switzerland.

Pic de Tenneverge rises to 2,985 m on the French side of the Chablais Alps, 300 m west of the Swiss border above Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval. Its upper wall is cut in Néocomien marls and limestone laid over a Malm (Upper Jurassic) base, giving lighter banded rock above dark vertical cliffs. A secondary summit, the Cornes du Chamois (2,562 m), stands on its south-west ridge.

The summit lies within France, 300 metres west of the Swiss border, which runs at 2,951 m on the ridge toward Lac d'Emosson. The name is probably Gaulish, from Tanno ("oak") and uer ("superior"), fitting a massif full of Celtic toponyms such as Avoudrues and the dent de Barme.

The name Tenneverge is probably Gaulish, from tanno ("oak") and uer ("superior"); the oak was a sacred tree for the Gauls. The massif also carries Celtic-derived names such as pointe des Rousses and Avoudrues. The summit rises above the Fer-à-Cheval cirque, on the left bank of the valley above Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval.

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.

The name likely comes from Gaulish tanno (oak) and uer (superior), the oak being a sacred tree to the Gauls. The southwest ridge carries a secondary summit, the Cornes du Chamois, at 2,562 m. The rock alternates Upper Jurassic limestone with Neocomian marls and limestones at the top.
