Moléson, Mountain peak in Fribourg Pre-Alps, Switzerland
The limestone summit of Moléson rises to 2002 meters above sea level, standing as a central point in the Gruyère region of Switzerland.
The name Moléson derives from mola summum, an ancient term referring to the highest point of a mountain or hilltop in the region.
The mountain serves as a meeting point for Swiss alpinists who practice traditional climbing techniques on its numerous limestone routes.
A funicular railway carries 90 passengers every 30 minutes to Plan-Francey station, while a cable car continues the journey to the summit.
From the observation point at the peak, visitors can see the entire chain of mountains extending from Lake Geneva to the Sarine valley.
