It is the second highest point in the canton of Geneva (510m) after Moniaz. You have to take a few steps on foot from the location of the must-see to reach the summit. There we discover a lovely panorama of the Geneva region. 4 orientation tables give us information on the fauna, the history of the region and some anecdotes.
