The Cape au Moine (German: Mönch sumhang) is a mountain in the Friborg Prealps on the border of the Swiss cantons of Vaud and Friborg .
location
The 1941 meter high summit lies between the valley of the Hongrin and the valley of the Baye de Montreux , which drains into the basin of Lake Geneva . The European main watershed runs along the north-south ridge on which the summit lies between the Vanil des Artses and the Dent de Jaman . The mountain dominates the Vaudois Riviera and offers a panoramic view over Lake Geneva.
rise
The summit can be reached via a demanding alpine hiking trail from the Col de Pierra-Perchia (1860 m) north of the summit . Four hiking trails lead there: from the Col de Jaman in the south along the western flank of the mountain, from Le Molard in the west over the Col de Soladier , and from the Allières and Les Cases stops on the Montreux – Lenk railway in Simmental to the east .
