The nature of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most debated questions of
contemporary physics. Ground-based arrays of Cherenkov telescopes such as the
High Energy Spectroscopic System (H.E.S.S.) search for DM signatures through
the detection of Very-High-Energy (VHE, $E > 100$ GeV) gamma-rays. DM particles
could self-annihilate in dense environments producing VHE $gamma$-rays in the
final states that could be eventually detected by H.E.S.S.. The H.E.S.S.
observation strategy for DM search focuses towards the Galactic Centre (GC)
region and nearby dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. The GC dataset
provides the most stringent constraints on the DM annihilation cross section in
the mass range 300 GeV – 70 TeV. Searches have been carried out towards
classical and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies to test specific heavy DM models. The
latest results towards the GC and dwarf galaxies are shown.
