Ballon Saint-Antoine, Mountain summit in Plancher-les-Mines, France
Ballon Saint-Antoine reaches an elevation of 1,128 meters within the Higher Vosges range, featuring distinctive sandstone formations and dense forest coverage.
The mountain, formerly known as Froide Montagne during medieval times, supported mining and metallurgical activities from the 15th to 18th centuries.
The mountain received its current name from a ninth-century hermit who resided in the valley, establishing a strong religious connection to the area.
Marked trails connect the summit to nearby towns of Lepuix and Plancher-les-Mines, providing access routes that link to the Ballon d'Alsace.
The mountain forms part of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park and received Natura 2000 protection status in 1996 for biodiversity preservation.
