Viewpoint over the Dôle

The summit of the Dôle, culminating at an altitude of 1677 meters, is easily distinguished by the large dome at its top. This dome houses a radar, protected from the weather and serving aviation purposes for the Geneva airport at the foot of the Jura mountains, and a weather station for Swiss weather forecasts. Other facilities at the summit also make the Dôle a Swiss meteorological station and an important telecommunications centre (television, radio, etc.). An orientation table completes the facilities for the many hikers who climb up the Dôle for the amazing panorama at the top.
