From the Dent de Vaulion you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama. The 1,483 meter high summit is the highest mountain in the region. When the weather is clear you can see the whole of western Switzerland with its numerous lakes. For example, the Vallée de Joux with the two lakes Lac de Joux and Lac de Brenet. A little way from the summit there is a cozy little restaurant where you can reward yourself for the climb up the mountain with a fondue.

Panorama! Including Mont Blanc. Good alpine pointer!
A small restaurant is 15 minutes' walk south.

Hiking

Easy to access by car in summer, but better to use your feet from the parking of Petra Félix. In winter it makes a good snow shoes destination.
It has an amazing panorama over many lakes and the alps.
