Dents de Lanfon, Mountain summit and climbing area near Lake Annecy, France
Dents de Lanfon consists of three limestone peaks that rise to 1,828 meters (5,997 feet) above sea level. The formation includes climbing routes across multiple faces that suit various skill levels and climbing styles.
Early mountaineers began exploring the peaks in the late 1800s and established the first climbing routes. Over time, these paths have been refined and expanded to accommodate modern climbers.
The mountain draws climbers from across the region who gather to test their skills and learn from more experienced mountaineers. The rock faces serve as a meeting point for people dedicated to mastering alpine techniques.
From marked parking areas, a steep uphill walk takes about 75 minutes to reach the climbing routes. Visitors should bring proper equipment and check local conditions before starting the ascent.
The mountain spans three separate communes and serves as a paragliding launch point alongside its climbing routes. This dual purpose makes it a hub for different mountain sports within the lake region.
