Colombey de Gex

One of the finest viewpoints in the Jura is the Colombey de Gex (1,689m/ 5,542ft), near the Swiss frontier. It is reached on a road which runs south from the Col de la Faucille and a footpath which takes off from the road; the ascent takes about two hours. From the summit there are fine views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. 4km/2.5mi northeast is Mont-Rond.
