Grand Ballon
Highlight • Summit
In 1927, a monument to the Blue Devils (French: Diables bleus), a mountain infantry battalion during World War I, was erected. It was destroyed by the Germans in September 1940 and reconstructed by the sculptor Bouret in October 1960. A radar station has stood on the summit since 1997, serving civilian aviation during approaches to the airports of Strasbourg and Basel-Mulhouse.
On clear days, you can see far into the Rhine Valley and the Alps.

In the lower trail, the locals have a few variants installed, then continue wild down rather steep on loose ground ..... the yellow way from Col Peternit is moderate
