Moron, Mountain summit in Bern, Switzerland
Located in the Jura Mountains, Moron rises to an elevation of 1,337 meters with a prominence of 393 meters above the surrounding terrain.
The mountain has served as a geographical marker in the Canton of Bern since medieval times, guiding travelers through the Jura mountain passes.
The Mario Botta-designed observation tower on Moron's eastern side represents contemporary Swiss architectural innovation in mountain observation structures.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from neighboring villages, with the Chemin des Skieurs providing direct access during winter and summer seasons.
The mountain's strategic position between Chasseral and Bellelay offers views extending from the Swiss Plateau to the Black Forest on clear days.
