La Barillette, Mountain summit in Canton Vaud, Switzerland.
La Barillette is a mountain summit in the Jura region of Canton Vaud. From this vantage point, visitors see Lake Léman and the Jura massif spreading across western Switzerland.
La Barillette formed through tectonic movements during the Jurassic period millions of years ago. These geological processes shaped the entire Jura chain that defines the landscape today.
The summit functions as a meeting point for Swiss mountaineers who gather regularly to practice traditional Alpine climbing techniques and share regional customs.
Marked trails lead to the summit, with the main path starting from Saint-Cergue. The climb takes about three hours and suits hikers with moderate fitness.
A weather station at the peak collects data and transmits real-time conditions through a camera system to regional forecast centers. This information helps meteorologists improve predictions for the surrounding area.
