Pointe de Poêle Chaud One of the Jura's answers to the Alps Having already celebrated beautiful Mont Tendre and La Dôle, two of the really nice peaks in the southwestern Jura mountains near Geneva, we turn now to the Pointe de Poêle Chaud. ("Poêle Chaud" means 'hot frying pan'; the farm by that name is at the foot of the back side of the mountain. Who can guess what well-disguised logic lurks beneath that name.)
