La Servelle, Mountain summit in Drôme region, France
Description
La Servelle is a mountain summit in the Drôme region rising to 965 meters, with varied terrain from base to top. Forests give way to boxwood-filled meadows, which then transition to alpine grasslands at the peak.
History
During World War II, the area around this summit was used for supply drops supporting resistance fighters in the Vercors region. The location served as a strategic point for liberation operations.
Culture
Shepherds in the area maintain a long-standing pastoral tradition, using the meadows to move their sheep and cattle herds according to the seasons.
Practical
The hiking trail to the summit starts from Aucelon village, about 20 kilometers south of Saillans, with parking available near the town hall. Prepare for varying elevations and ground conditions, as the route passes through several landscape zones.
