The Berneuse (or la Berneuse) is a mountain of the western Bernese Alps, above Leysin in the canton of Vaud. It lies on the range east of the Rhone valley, culminating at the Tour d'Aï.

Its summit (2,045 m) is a popular place because of the revolving restaurant (the Kuklos)[3] on the top which is accessible by cable cabin from town. On a clear day, Lake Geneva is visible from this summit.
