Petit Ballon, Mountain summit in Haut-Rhin, France.
The Petit Ballon reaches an elevation of 1272 meters in the Vosges Mountains, presenting views across the Munster Valley and the Alsatian Plain.
Monks from the Munster monastery established cheese production in the seventh century, which continues today in the farm-inns surrounding Petit Ballon.
Traditional farm-inns like Lameysberg, Hilsen, and Geisbach maintain the culinary and agricultural customs of the Vosges valleys.
The Rothenbrunnen mountain shelter stands 500 meters below the summit, with a parking area located 500 meters further down for hikers' convenience.
Petit Ballon belongs to the Belchen system, a group of mountains potentially connected to an ancient Celtic solar calendar.
