Vanil des Artses, Mountain summit in Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland
Located between Lake Geneva and Gruyère valley, Vanil des Artses rises to 1,993 meters as part of the Swiss Prealps mountain range.
In August 2013, spelunkers from Association des Folliu-Bornés accomplished a notable achievement by reaching the summit through internal cave exploration.
The mountain forms part of the Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut Regional Nature Park, contributing to the Swiss natural heritage preservation efforts.
Hiking trails to reach Vanil des Artses summit require safety equipment including harnesses and ropes due to challenging terrain and cable-equipped sections.
The mountain contains an internal network of caves that extends from its base toward the peak, offering opportunities for both hiking and spelunking activities.
