From the shores of Lake Geneva, one can see the antenna of the tower located at the summit. This 130 m. high structure is called « Plein Ciel » and can easily be reached from the upper station of the funicular, which is situated at an altitude of 810 m. If you would like to climb even higher, a lift is available to reach the 65m. high panoramic platform (open from Easter to October). What a view over Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains and valleys! |
