Mormont, Archaeological site and mountain summit in canton Vaud, Switzerland.
The Mormont rises 605 meters above sea level, forming a natural barrier between the Venoge and Orbe valleys in western Switzerland.
Archaeological excavations from 2006 revealed 250 Celtic burial pits containing human remains, tools, jewelry, and bronze vessels from the La Tène period.
The mountain contains one of Switzerland's largest Celtic sanctuaries, with graves and sacrificial sites documenting religious practices from 450 to 100 BC.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through marked paths from Eclépens village, while considering ongoing limestone mining operations in specific areas.
The location serves as a watershed between Rhine and Rhone basins, featuring over 900 plant species, including 200 rare varieties and multiple orchid types.
