L'Ardève

L'Ardève (1,501 m) is a mountain of the western Bernese Alps, overlooking the Rhone valley at Leytron, in the canton of Valais. Although L'Ardève has a moderate elevation (it is less than 200 metres above the nearby mountain resort of Ovronnaz), it has very high cliffs on its south side and its summit offers a good vantage point over the Rhone valley.
