Drumont

Drumont is a mountain peak made of crystalline schist located above the Bussang area in the Vosges region. The 1891 orientation table at the summit helps visitors identify cardinal directions and the surrounding landscape features.

During World War II, the Drumont farm became a meeting place for resistance networks until German forces destroyed it in September 1944. This event marked a significant chapter in the region's wartime history.

The mountain pastures here connect directly to Munster cheese production, as local cattle graze on the slopes and their milk becomes this regional specialty. Visitors can see how the land and local food traditions are intertwined.

A road runs from the Bussang pass up to the summit, though winter weather often makes it impassable during cold months. Visitors should come prepared for changing mountain conditions and wear sturdy footwear.

The summit serves as a launch point for model aircraft and paragliders, with flights heading toward the valley near Urbès. This aerial activity draws enthusiasts from across the region to this spot.
