On the hill, there is a big population of Himantoglossum hircinum, a rare orchid in Switzerland. There is also a big population of Alytes obstetricans, which is not such a common toad in Switzerland. A visit by night in the village of Chamblon especially close to the many old walls and if it is rainy will probably allow to hear one of those little guys.
