Tête du Chat Sauvage, Mountain summit in Grand Est region, France.
Tête du Chat Sauvage is a summit of the Vosges massif reaching 1,153 metres, on the ridge line between the communes of Ventron (Vosges) and Fellering (Haut-Rhin). Its top is a broad, gently sloping clearing of brown leaf litter and exposed dark tree roots, with low moss-covered stones and short stumps near the edges.
The sources record no founding date, event or protected-area status for the summit; they only state that it rises to 1,153 m on the ridge line between Ventron (Vosges) and Fellering (Haut-Rhin). The name appears in the French toponymic record of the Vosges massif, where the crest rises at this point.
The name "Tête du Chat Sauvage" (head of the wild cat) follows the Vosges habit of naming summits "tête" for a rounded top. It sits on the ridge line between Ventron in the Vosges department and Fellering in Haut-Rhin, so the summit marks a departmental boundary as well as a high point at 1,153 m.
