Dent de Corjon, Mountain summit in canton Vaud, Switzerland.
Dent de Corjon is a 1,967-meter summit in the Swiss Prealps, distinguished by its steep rock walls and multiple marked trails. The mountain offers passage through several passes and attracts hikers who seek technical challenges on Alpine terrain.
The Dent de Corjon is the highest point of the small range between the L'Hongrin valley and the Sarine, north of Lac de l'Hongrin. It rises to 1,967 m in the Swiss Prealps, west of Rossinière in the canton of Vaud.
The name Corjon comes from the patois word for the mountain's horn-shaped profile, and the summit marks the highest point of the chain between the Hongrin valley and the Sarine. From Rossinière, the climb is a long day on foot, and the summit cross is the usual goal for local walkers.
Access is through the La Lécherette pass at 1,388 meters, from which several routes lead to the summit. Basic shelter at the CAS Diablerets Lausanne Chalet Lacombe provides protection and guidance for hikers.
