Location and surroundings
The 1991 meter high summit lies between the valley of the Hongrin in the east and the valley of the Veveyse de Fégire in the west, which flows into the Veveyse . The main European watershed runs along the north-south ridge on which the summit is located between Dent de Lys and Folliu Borna in the north and Le Pila and Cape au Moine in the south . The dominance of the mountain is about three kilometers to the Dent de Lys ( 2013 m above sea level ). The height of the gap in the Vanil des Artses is about 290 meters; the saddle is just over 1700 m above sea level. M. between Folliu Borna and Col de Lys .
In the area of the mountain, the ridge forms the western border of the Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut , a park of national importance .
Climb and caves
The ascent, classified as difficult alpine hiking (T6 +) according to the SAC hiking scale, is possible from the south from Col de Pierra-Perchia (1860 m) via Le Pila and from the north.
In August 2013, around ten cave explorers discovered an ascent inside the mountain: starting at the entrance to the Grotte du dragon , 260 meters below the summit in the valley of the Hongrin , they climbed through a difficult cave in the karst rock and reached the west face of the mountain after seven hours Vanil des Artses 25 meters below the summit. They crossed under the main European watershed . As a technical challenge, the cave contained a ten-meter shaft and a four-meter ledge. The temperature was between 5 ° C and 7 ° C and the humidity was 100%. The researchers had spent months digging away some clay plugs so that these places could be passed on all fours in the mud. Elsewhere, the path had to be found between menhir-like stones and a 20 meter high hall, the “Hall of the Dragon”, had to be crossed. In the end, a large stone blocked the exit, which was destroyed with a cordless hammer drill . According to research by the Swiss Alpine Club at the time , this is the first underground ascent to a mountain - at least in Switzerland. The first climbers stated that some people had referred to them in advance as “dreamers” ( French affabulateurs ). They "strongly advise against" repeating the adventure by inexperienced people.
