Description

This is the highest peak in the Jura mountain range next to the Leman Lake in Geneva (Switzerland). The path starts at a refuge at 880 meter of elevation quickly reaching an unforgiven steep path to climb to the summit. First 400 meters of elevation goes through the typical Jurassian forest to then open-up to mid-mountain terrain with no trees and on an almost runnable part for about 200 meter of elevation more. Then the final push to the summit starts with some scrambling through a rocky path before reaching the summit at 1720 meters of altitude.
