Dent des Portes, Mountain summit in Bauges massif, France
The Dent des Portes rises to 1932 meters and features steep limestone cliffs on its northern face with dense beech forests at lower elevations.
Local shepherds have used the pastures around Dent des Portes for centuries, establishing a network of trails that connect various mountain shelters.
The Golet de Doucy shelter near Dent des Portes served as a filming location for Pierre Beccu's documentary about Alpine shepherds' relationships.
The ascent starts at Parking des Cornes near Doucy-en-Bauges, following a marked trail through meadows and forests for approximately 4 hours round trip.
The summit presents a geological formation where layers of sedimentary rock create natural steps leading to the peak's northern edge.
