La Dent du Loup, Mountain peak in Vercors Massif, France.
Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region at 1377 meters elevation, La Dent du Loup stands out with its distinctive limestone formation against the mountainous landscape.
The limestone layers of La Dent du Loup formed through geological processes during the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic forces shaped the mountain ranges.
Local mountaineers named this peak after its sharp tooth-like shape, translating to 'The Wolf's Tooth' in English, reflecting the regional wildlife heritage.
Hikers can access the summit through a marked trail starting from Engins village, following a 12.7-kilometer loop with 751 meters of elevation gain.
The summit provides a natural observation point where visitors can see the Isère Valley, Vercors cliffs, and surrounding mountain ranges in clear weather.
