Pointe de Poêle Chaud is a secondary summit of the Dôle massif in the Vaud Jura, reached on foot via the Col de Porte. The sources record no founding date or historical event for the peak itself; its documented history is that of a radio amateur relay, HB9G, installed in a hut at the summit and operated jointly by Swiss and French radio amateurs.
At the summit a small hut houses HB9G, a Franco-Swiss amateur radio relay. The station links radio operators on both sides of the Jura border, and the hut and its antenna are the structure a walker notices at the top.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Col de Porte and require sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing for safe access. Visitors should start early in the day and allow plenty of time for the ascent, especially when mountain weather is unpredictable.
