La Dôle with chamois, April 2004
Why is La Dôle, like Mont Tendre, so valued by former Alpine-dwellers in this corner of the world? Answer: Trees. That is to say, NO Trees. Mont Tendre and La Dôle are the only peaks on the southwestern end of the Swiss Jura Mountains that stick out of the tree line! Like La Chasseral and the Weissenberg in the northern Jura, it's a little mountain that -- in the right light, in the right weather -- sometimes feels like a mountain.
