Mont Châteleu, Mountain summit in Doubs department, France
Mont Châteleu rises to an elevation of 1301 meters and consists of sedimentary rock formations extending along a southwest to northeast ridge line.
The geological formation of this Jura mountain dates back to the Mesozoic era, marking centuries of natural border between France and Switzerland.
The mountain serves as a natural divide between Mediterranean Sea and North Sea watersheds, shaping the development of local communities over generations.
Hiking trails lead to the summit from both the French commune of Les Gras to the northwest and the Swiss village of La Brévine to the southeast.
The geographical position of the mountain provides views over four French departments and three Swiss cantons from its highest point.
