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

Jolimont is a mountain and archaeological site near Bern that stretches across several kilometers between two lakes. The terrain rises to over 600 meters and is crossed by a walking trail that connects various points at different elevations.

Four burial mounds on the hill were excavated in 1847 and 1848. One held a woman's skeleton with an engraved flat-headed garment pin; another contained two daggers, an axe and bronze pins from the Middle Bronze Age, and a third held a man with a bronze spear. During the First World War the Fortification Murten bunkers and defences were built on the Jolimont, and parts can be visited.

The hill's name is French even though it lies in German-speaking territory; it has no German name. On the sun-exposed southern slopes, Chasselas, Perdrix blanche and Chardonnay are grown. The Jolimontgut, a former monastic farm with a late-Gothic manor and round tower, now hosts musical events.

The hill is wooded with steep slopes and a flat top; paths lead up from Gampelen, Gals, Tschugg and Erlach. The First World War Murten fortifications on the Jolimont can be partly visited. The sandstone of the upper slopes holds fossil shells and shark teeth.

The three glacial boulders on the plateau, called Tüfelsburdi (Devil's Burden) or Druidensteine, were carried from the Val de Bagnes by the Rhône glacier and have been protected since 1872. The group measures about 400 m³. Nearby are cup-marked stones and four burial mounds, three excavated in 1847 and the fourth in 1848.
