Departure from Bas-Rhin
A beautiful hike passing through the pass and the Charbonnière inn, where you can recharge your batteries with some good food, before reaching the highest point of the Champ du Feu. On the way back, you will pass by the paragliding launch site with a magnificent view of the Villé valley.

Easy
Departure from Bas-Rhin
Beautiful snowshoe trek beneath the Champ du Feu from the Col du Kreuzweg. Pass through the Pelage site, a paragliding centre offering a superb view, then through the Chaume des Beaux, a beautiful open space in which to enjoy the sun.
Some "off-track" sections for the sake of fun in the snow but with the option to stay on the marked trails for those who want it.
Champ du Feu circular tour via Le Howhald and the old dairy farm

Departure from Le Hohwald (Bas-Rhin)
In my opinion, this is the most beautiful route up to Champ du Feu from Hohwald, as it runs through the heart of the forest and there are no busy roads to cross. If you set off early, you might be lucky enough to spot some wildlife. The route passes by the old dairy farm, a peaceful and quiet spot, before descending via the magnificent Chaume des Veaux. Then, enjoy the stunning viewpoint at Breitenbach, where you might just see paragliders in flight. Finish your hike by returning via Grande Bellevue.
The Grand 8 of the Andlau Valley

Very difficult
Departure from Andlau (Bas-Rhin)
The Grand 8 of the Andlau Valley is not a fairground attraction but a very long hike, even a challenge, but certainly not a competition. A hike for seasoned walkers or for walkers who are not afraid of suffering, or both. In one day for the more adventurous or in two days for the more reasonable.
The hike is not technically difficult but is very long and requires good stamina.

Below the Champ du Feu, this pleasant route descends almost to the entrance of the village of Breitenbach. It is of moderate difficulty with some steep climbs nonetheless, especially the challenging one that ends the hike, but also some lovely descents.Forest tracks and narrow paths, beautiful trees and stunning views, plus a lovely shelter for a mid-route lunch break, feature throughout this route.

Departure from Belmont (Bas-Rhin) (Bas-Rhin)
This walk along the western slopes of the Champs du Feu takes you through splendid scenery towards the village of Hohwald. During this route, you’ll discover the source of the Andlau, the Chaume des Veaux, the village of Hohwald and, of course, the waterfall of the same name. Particularly popular for its cool waters in summer, it takes on a magical quality in winter, when, in the bitter cold, it transforms into a majestic ice sculpture.

Departure from Bas-Rhin
This circular walk is a relatively short hike offering the chance to explore the heights of Hohwald without having to cover a long distance. It is particularly suitable for walkers looking for a few hours’ outing in the forest, with a moderate elevation gain and a typically Vosges atmosphere. The route can also make for a good additional walk during a stay in Hohwald or at the Col du Kreuzweg.
