On a clear day, the view extends as far as …

Hiking is fantastic at the moment. This is not only due to the beautiful Jura Ridge Trail, but also to the weather.

The visibility was not so clear, but the Alps were cloud-free. …

The start in Le Pont on Lac de Joux in foggy autumn weather. Then a pleasant climb up to Mont Tendre. The view from there over the sea of fog was very beautiful on this late autumn day.
