The park is situated at the base of Le Môle, a mountain known for its distinct triangular shape visible from much of the Geneva basin.
The facility is part of the broader administrative area of the Communauté de Communes des Quatre Rivières.
The name 'Lac du Môle' derives from the proximity to the mountain rather than a major natural lake on-site.
The location is positioned at an elevation that offers unique micro-climatic conditions for local wildlife compared to the lower valley.
