Petit Ballon
The Petit Ballon or Little Belchen, is, at 1272 m, one of the highest peaks of the Vosges Mountains in the department of Haut-Rhin, Alsace, in France, about 5 km away from the village of Wasserbourg. The Rothenbrunnen mountain hut is 500m below. A car park is a further 500m away.
The Col du Petit Ballon pass is close to the summit.
The mountain is part of the Belchen system, a group of mountains with the name "Belchen" that may have been part of a Celtic sun calendar.
