Mont Soleil (1,291 m) is a mountain of the Jura Mountains, located north of Saint-Imier in the canton of Bern. The summit area can be easily accessed by a funicular from Saint-Imier, reaching a height of 1,180 metres.
An observatory is located on the summit as well as several wind turbines and a solar park: the former with their presence (the highest is 150 m high) and noise introduced a heavy element of disturbance in the landscape.[2]
