It stretches along the western border of the Lac du Bourget, in the Savoie.Recognized as a remarkable regional site, the Dent du Chat is accessible to experienced hikers as well as cyclists via the Mont du Chat, a major stage of the 2017 Tour de France. From May to October, closer car access with parking is possible from Saint-Paul-sur-Yenne via the D42 departmental road near the Relais du Mont du Chat. The climb is also possible from the commune of Le Bourget-du-Lac. During the same period, refreshments are available on site at the bar-restaurant Les Aigles.
