Sommet du Colombier, Alpine summit in Jura Mountains, France
The Grand Colombier reaches an elevation of 1,934 meters and features mountain meadows where wild gentians and alpine flowers grow.
A metal cross has marked the summit since 1906, replacing the original wooden structure that was destroyed by a storm in 1967.
The summit regularly hosts Tour de France stages, including a notable finish line during the fifteenth stage of the 2020 edition.
Access roads to the summit close from November to mid-April, and visitors must bring their water as no sources are available.
A 360-degree orientation table helps identify surrounding mountains, including Mont Blanc, Lakes Bourget, Annecy, and Geneva.
