Situated at an altitude of 700 m, Mont de Vannes dominates the village of Melisey and the valley. It was a hermit who came to live on this summit that gave it its name in the 17th century. In the Middle Ages (1494), the abbeys exploited iron in the form of open-cast mines.
The Mont de Vannes began to yield its riches: lead ore, a truly precious metal, used in stained glass windows, sealants and pipes.
The summit of the Mont de Vannes, one of the must-see sites on the Échappée des 1000 Étangs, offers a magnificent view over the valley.
The site is also very popular with paragliding enthusiasts.
