Jolimont, Archaeological site and mountain area in Bern, Switzerland.

The Jolimont mountain extends for 4 kilometers along the Thielle canal between Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Bienne, reaching an elevation of 603 meters.

Three burial mounds excavated in 1847 contained Bronze Age weapons from the second millennium BC and artifacts from the Hallstatt period around 500 BC.

The archaeological findings reveal evidence of Roman settlements, including housing remains and a road that connected to Petinesca through the southern slopes.

Visitors can reach the summit through a walking trail that begins in Gampelen and continues toward the town of Erlach.

The mountain slopes receive sufficient sunlight throughout the year, supporting the cultivation of chasselas grape varieties for wine production.
