Croix-Rampau, Mountain summit in Poleymieux-au-Mont-d'Or, France.
The Croix-Rampau summit rises 464 meters above sea level in the Monts d'Or range, northwest of Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The Croix-Rampau area gained protected status in May 1941, establishing its role as a significant natural landmark in the Rhône region.
Physicist André-Marie Ampère frequently walked near Croix-Rampau, close to a windmill whose tower remains stand as a historical marker.
From the orientation table at the summit, visitors can view the Alps, Dombes, Saône Valley, Beaujolais, and Bresse regions in clear weather.
A paragliding launch site established in 2009 at the summit requires technical expertise due to its narrow takeoff area and northern wind conditions.
