Dents de Lanfon

The three limestone peaks of Dents de Lanfon rise to 1828 meters, offering climbing routes ranging from grade 5c to 7b across multiple faces.

Initial climbing expeditions to Dents de Lanfon began in the late 19th century, establishing routes that continue to challenge modern climbers on its sedimentary rock faces.

The mountain draws climbers from across France and Europe, making it a central location for alpine climbing techniques and training throughout the calendar year.

Access to climbing routes requires a 75-minute uphill approach from designated parking areas, with proper climbing equipment and helmets required for safety measures.

The mountain spans three different communes - Alex, Bluffy, and Talloires-Montmin - while serving as both a climbing destination and a paragliding launch point.
