Tête de Ran

Tête de Ran is a mountain summit in the Jura range standing at 1,422 meters high. From the peak, views extend across forested slopes, lakes, and the surrounding Swiss lowlands.

The mountain developed as a winter sports destination in the mid-20th century. Ski lifts allowed access to the southern slopes until their closure in 2021.

The summit draws local hikers and skiers from the nearby city who value its accessible location. Families regularly visit for day trips into nature away from urban areas.

A paved road reaches 1,329 meters with parking available at the base. The final stretch to the summit is manageable on foot for most visitors, whether coming in winter for skiing or summer for hiking.

The area features around 50 kilometers of cross-country skiing trails for both classic and skating techniques. Despite the closure of the lift facilities, it remains popular for winter activities among regional visitors.
