Crêt au Merle, Mountain summit in Jura Mountains, France.

Located at an elevation of 1,448 meters, the Crêt au Merle summit stands between the departments of Jura and Ain in eastern France.

The summit features the Lion Milestone, installed in 1613 to mark the boundary between the Kingdom of France and Spanish Burgundy.

Local hiking enthusiasts maintain several marked trails leading to the summit, preserving traditional mountain access routes through the Jura range.

Multiple hiking paths connect to reach the summit between May and October, with clear directional signs guiding visitors through the forested terrain.

The geological composition of sedimentary rocks from the Miocene period provides scientists with data about the formation of the Jura Mountains.
