The Chapeau de Napoléon ( German "Napoleonshut" ) is a 1000 meter high mountain spur and lookout point above Fleurier and Saint-Sulpice in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel .
It is located on the southwest side of the St-Sulpice gorge and is the eastern part of the Montagne de Buttes .
The round top of the limestone rock is reminiscent of the Napoleon hat , which is where the name might come from. Older residents still know the mountain under the name Le Righi neuchâtelois ( German for "the Neuchâtel Rigi " ). Below the mountain top, the highest point of which is the Queue du Porc ( 1068 m above sea level ), there is a viewpoint with a restaurant at 960.9 m , which can be reached both on foot and by car.
Below the shoulder there are two caves lying one above the other. The lower, larger cave is located at a height of 910 m and has been explored over a total length of 264 m ( location ). JP Jéquier was able to detect the cave spider Porrhomma microphthalmum mierophthalmum in the cave in 1964 .
