This is an easy hike with beautiful views of the Keysersberg valley to the east and the ridges to the west. You will always find a sunny spot for a picnic around Lac des Truites. The Auberge du Lac Noir welcomes you for a break and the Ferme Auberge du Forlet is open at the end of April. You can also eat at the Mussmiss farmhouse inn, which is clearly signposted on arrival at the Col du Wettstein.

Moderate
Departure from La Bresse (Vosges)
A circuit through the forest to reach a fine viewpoint above the Abri des Champis overlooking the Vologne valley (Moselotte valley) and the Bresse and Hohneck massifs. It's a very pleasant way to start off, along Lac de Lispach, to admire this ancient glacial valley. The trails are perfectly signposted for walking, mountain biking and snowshoeing in winter. In summer, the ridge is a flower-filled meadow.
