Cape au Moine, Mountain summit in the Swiss Prealps, Switzerland.

Cape au Moine rises to 1,941 meters above sea level, situated between the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg in the Swiss Prealps region.

The mountain has served as a natural border marker between the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg since the establishment of modern Swiss territorial divisions.

Local shepherds have traditionally used the slopes of Cape au Moine during summer months for grazing their cattle and producing mountain cheese.

The summit connects to a network of marked hiking trails, with access points from both Vaud and Fribourg sides offering different difficulty levels.

The mountain's position provides simultaneous views of Lake Geneva to the west and the Gruyère valley to the east from its peak.
