Lookout of the Faucigny, nicknamed Fuji-Yama of the Alps, the Môle is an iconic and spectacular peak, especially when the first snows cover its summit (1,863 m) with a white cap.

At the summit, a 360° panorama offers a splendid view of the Mont Blanc, the Aravis, the Arve Valley, the Chablais region, and Lake Geneva.
