Parc régional Chasseral - The panorama from 1606,2 m high summit of Chasseral is unique: From here you can see the whole Alpine chain from Säntis to Mont Blanc, and also over the Mittelland (middle of Switzerland).
From its 1606.2 metres above sea level, the Chasseral offers a sensational view of the Swiss Plateau and the Alps - from the Säntis to Mont Blanc - on the one hand, and the Jura, Vosges and Black Forest on the other. In summer and winter, it attracts large numbers of hikers all year round. The access road, on which the pass was tolled until 2007, is also very busy. In the mid-2000s, there were 40,000 vehicles per year; today there are three to four times that number.
The Swisscom antenna on the Chasseral is a cardinal landmark for hundreds of thousands of people. This telecommunications totem pole was erected in 1975. The 120 m high antenna was inaugurated in 1983. It is still used today as a relay transmitter for radio and television broadcasts, for Rega and, in a more discreet and less well-known way, for the army.
Vom Berg zum See und dabei die schöne Aussicht geniessen: das ist das Motto dieses Tagesausfluges. Der Weg führt leicht abwärts durch Wälder und über Wytweiden und überwindet dabei 500 m Höhendifferenz.
This family hike will take you from les Prés-d’Orvin to the top of Chasseral along the ridges’ smooth slopes: the breath-taking view offers an amazing glance onto the Alps and then natural regional parc of the Ballons des Vosges.
