The Dent de Lys (2,014 m) is a mountain in the Bernese Alps (Swiss Prealps), in the canton of Fribourg.
If we follow its south ridge, we can find Folliu Borna (1,849 m, the Vanil des Artses (1,993 m), the Cape au Moine (1,941 m), the Dent de Jaman (1,875 m) and finally les Rochers de Naye (2,042 m).
Ernest Hemingway mentions the Dent de Lys in his short story Cross Country Snow On 25 March 1940, a roped party had an accident near the summit.
The only survivor, a Catholic priest, said he was saved by his prayers toward Marguerite Bays (a local girl that eventually became beatified in 1995).
[2] Nowadays, some mortuary crosses can be seen with the name of those who died while tempting the ascent of the summit.
