The westernmost point of Switzerland is there, between trees and rocks, marked by the legendary border marker No. 1 dating from 1816, the first of 6,638 markers that line the Swiss border. On one of its sides, it bears the crest of the canton of Geneva, and on the other, that of the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. It served as a reference point for the engineer Guillaume-Henri Dufour to establish topographical maps of Switzerland in the mid-19th century.
