Tour de Famelon, Mountain summit in Vaud canton, Switzerland

The Tour de Famelon is a summit of the Vaud Prealps at 2,143 m, north of Leysin in the canton of Vaud. It rises between the Tour de Mayen and the Pierre du Moëllé, on the ridge that separates the Hongrin valley from the Ormonts valley; a 2,126 m sub-peak stands just to its south.

The Tour de Famelon is one of three summits on a ridge line that separates the valley of Ormonts from the valley of Hongrin, together with the Tour d'Aï and the Tour de Mayen. The sources record no founding date, construction or historical event for the summit itself; its documented history is that of the ridge and the valleys it overlooks.

The summit stands on the ridge that separates the Ormonts valley from the Hongrin valley, with the Tour d'Aï and Tour de Mayen forming the same crest line. The name Famelon belongs to the local toponymy of the Vaudois Prealps, where several peaks carry the title Tour. The mountain rises directly above Leysin to the south and Le Sépey to the south-east.

The summit lies north of Leysin, between the Tour de Mayen and the Pierre du Moëllé, on the ridge above the Hongrin valley. The Tour de Famelon has a lower southern shoulder at 2,126 m. Approach routes are not marked in the sources; check local signage in Leysin or Le Sépey before setting out.

The summit has a southern antecime reaching 2,126 m, just 17 m below the main top. The Tour de Famelon, the Tour d'Aï and the Tour de Mayen form a single crest line that separates the Ormonts valley from the Hongrin valley.
