The
Dent de Morcles (French pronunciation: [dɑ̃ də mɔʁkl]) is a 2,969 metres high mountain located at western end of the
Bernese Alps 
, overlooking the Rhone between
Martigny 
and St. Maurice. It is the westernmost summit of the Muverans massif, which in turn is the westernmost of the four distinct mountain massifs of the Bernese Alps that lie west of the
Gemmi Pass 
. Its position at the end of this chain of mountains and the abrupt drop to the wide valley of the Rhone river below make the Dent de Morcles prominently visible from many points in
Lausanne 
and other populated areas on the north and northeastern shores of Lake Geneva.
The summit is sometimes distinguished by the name
Grande Dent de Morcles, the Petite Dent de Morcles being a lower summit (2,929 m) on the north-west side. Both summits are located on the border between
Valais 
and
Vaud 
.
