Dent du Chat, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
The limestone peak of Dent du Chat reaches an elevation of 1,390 meters within the Mont du Chat mountain range of eastern France.
The geological formation of Dent du Chat occurred through tectonic movements that shaped the limestone deposits during the Alpine orogeny millions of years ago.
Local residents of Savoie named this mountain peak Dent du Chat, meaning Cat's Tooth, due to its sharp, pointed shape rising above the landscape.
Hikers can reach the summit via marked trails from Saint-Paul-sur-Yenne, with the Route du relais du Mont du Chat providing initial vehicle access.
The mountain summit stands as the 88th highest peak among 8,522 elevations in the North France-West Rhine area, with a prominence of 71 meters.
