Le Solitaire is a mountain summit in the Jura range of eastern France. From the top, the landscape spreads across forested slopes and limestone ridges that shape the mountain region.
The summit formed through tectonic processes that created the Jura range over millions of years. This geological activity resulted in the limestone layering that you see in the region today.

Marked trails descend from the summit to nearby villages and offer different route options depending on your fitness level. The best time to visit is between April and September, when hiking conditions are favorable.
The peak provides an observation point for studying the regional flora, including specific mountain plant species that grow at this elevation.
