Mont
de Bière Devant
The
Monts de Bière, Jura meadows owned by the commune of Bière, poke
up at 1520 and 1530 meters from the limestone forests just northeast of the Col
du Marchairuz, and are really extraordinarily beautiful in the right light, especially
in winter.

From
the flagpole, looking southwest toward Lake Geneva (Lac Léman). The city of Geneva
lies at the right end of the lake. 
Another

and the odd skier, 16 February 2003.

itself, and the orange is the farm of Mont de Bière Derrière. The
blue dot marks the spot where young Marlowe T. Peck
camped with her Papa in late December 1994.
