Grand Crêt d'Eau, Mountain summit in the French Jura range, France.
The Grand Crêt d'Eau reaches an elevation of 1621 meters and forms a limestone ridge overlooking the Valserine Valley and Geneva basin.
The mountain landscape of Grand Crêt d'Eau evolved through centuries of pastoral activities, as early inhabitants cleared forests to create grazing lands.
Varambon chalet, built in the early 1800s, stands as a testament to traditional cheese production and now houses exhibits about mountain shepherding life.
The hiking trails to the summit start from Lancrans and require a full day trek, covering 26 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1274 meters.
Natural water pools called goyas dot the landscape, providing water for livestock during summer months and supporting local amphibian populations.
