Dents d'Ambin, Alpine summit in Savoie, France
The Dents d'Ambin features three distinct peaks reaching 3,372 meters, forming a jagged ridge of metamorphic rock along the French-Italian border.
The first successful ascent of Denti d'Ambin occurred on July 14, 1884, when Giovanni Gerra and guides Edoardo and Francesco Sibille reached the summit.
The mountain range carries different names across borders, known as Dents d'Ambin in France and Denti d'Ambin in Italy, reflecting the regional linguistic heritage.
Climbers typically begin their ascent from Rifugio Luigi Vaccarone, with optimal climbing conditions occurring during summer months between June and September.
The three peaks present different appearances depending on viewing position: separate teeth from Susa Valley but a single formation from Colle del Piccolo Moncenisio.
