Tour de Famelon, Mountain summit in Vaud canton, Switzerland
Tour de Famelon rises to 2,138 meters in elevation, standing between Lake Hongrin and the valleys of Ormont Dessous and Ormont Dessus in Switzerland.
The mountain paths of Tour de Famelon developed into established hiking routes during the early phases of Swiss Alpine tourism development in the 1800s.
Local mountain guides maintain the traditions of leading groups through the Tour de Famelon trails, sharing knowledge about Alpine flora and mineral formations.
Hikers reach the summit via marked paths from Pierre du Moëllé, with safety chains installed at narrow sections near the top for additional security.
The mountain features deep geological depressions and protected pastures where livestock guardian dogs monitor grazing areas throughout the warmer months.
