    Hiking

    We tend to believe that the Dent de la Rancune is this small peak hooked like a canine and looking like the Matterhorn. Well no, it's actually the block that stands to its right. It is a dyke, that is to say an old column of lava that erosion has uncovered from the ground. This is how this wall was erected, which makes climbers happy. It offers about forty routes, including one rated 8+. Notice to amateurs!

    In the entire hiking region it can be quite warm and strenuous in summer. We therefore recommend taking enough water with you.
