Personal reflections, and lots of photos, from our life in Switzerland (and France)
during our stay, 2007-09, for the LHC Startup at CERN.

A stroll at La Dôle

La Dôle is a peak in the Jura mountain range which borders France and Swizerland. It has an altitude of 1677.2 meters. The northwest face provides skiing in the winter.


And in the spring and summer, it is full of grazing cows.
There is a fence, but it is to keep the cows out of the parking lot and that is all. Walkers and cows share the same meadows and paths!

In the far background is Lake Geneva and a hint of the surrounding city. Beyond are the Alps.

Sterling enjoyed the enormity of the place,
and the vistas are spectacular!
