Dent de Moirans, Mountain summit in Isère department, France

The Dent de Moirans rises to 988 meters in elevation and stands between Saint-Quentin-sur-Isère, Montaud, and Veurey-Voroize municipalities in the French Alps.

The geological formation of Dent de Moirans occurred through the erosion of the Ratz anticline by the Isère River, creating its current limestone structure.

The mountain serves as a natural landmark for local communities, with trails marked according to the standardized Vercors Park system using green and yellow indicators.

Hikers can access the summit through a 10.7-kilometer moderate trail starting from Montaud village hall, with a total elevation gain of 403 meters.

The geological composition of Dent de Moirans reflects Jurassian rather than Alpine characteristics, featuring Urgonian limestone from the Valanginian period over Barremian calcareous marls.
