Pierre à Cambot, Erratic boulder in Vernand-dessous forest, Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland.

The Pierre à Cambot consists of sedimentary conglomerate rock located at coordinates 46.571667°N and 6.598333°E, with an estimated volume of 50 cubic meters.

During the Würm glaciation 25,000 years ago, the Rhône glacier transported this boulder from Martigny to its current location at 587 meters altitude.

The boulder, classified as a historical monument, represents a significant geological formation that documents the glacial movements across the Swiss landscape.

Visitors can reach the boulder through Route de la Pierre-à-Cambot, with public transportation options available from surrounding communities in canton Vaud.

The total mass of this conglomerate boulder reaches approximately 267 tons, with an equally substantial portion potentially buried beneath the surface.
