Mont de Vouan, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
Located at 960 meters altitude, Mont de Vouan features numerous hiking trails through dense forests and open spaces with views of surrounding peaks.
The mountain contains multiple quarries where workers extracted stones for millstones, an industrial activity that continued until the early 20th century.
Local hiking associations maintain several marked paths across Mont de Vouan, connecting various geological formations with educational information panels about regional heritage.
The main hiking route starts from Viuz-en-Sallaz, extends over 9.2 kilometers with a 486-meter elevation gain, and takes approximately 4 hours to complete.
