Crêt du Nû, Mountain summit in Ain, France
The Crêt du Nû reaches an elevation of 1,351 meters and stands prominently above the Rhône Valley, offering views across the Retord Plateau.
The geological formation of Crêt du Nû dates back to the Kimmeridgian period, characterized by specific limestone deposits found throughout the Jura mountains.
Local writer Delphine Arène captured the mountain's essence in her poetry collection 'Les Petites Heures', describing an August night at Crêt du Nû.
The hiking trail to the summit starts from Plans d'Hotonnes, following the GR9 path with red and white markers through a 14-kilometer circuit.
The summit provides a 1,000-meter vertical drop viewpoint over the Rhône Valley on its eastern face, while its western side overlooks the Retord Plateau.
