Departure from Soultzeren (Haut-Rhin)
Lac Vert (1,044 m) owes its name to the colour it takes on in summer due to the proliferation of algae. Lac des Truites (or Forlet) is the highest lake in the Vosges mountains at 1,066 m.
Both are located in former glacial cirques dominated by the Hautes Chaumes.
