                A long hike around the third highest peak in the Vosges mountains and the highest in the Vosges department, following six lakes.
The route offers beautiful views and all types of terrain (paths, roads, trails, forest, clearings, alpine pastures, etc.).
This is a very difficult hike for experienced hikers only (length, duration and significant elevation gain).
Not to be attempted in winter; best done in late spring, summer or early autumn.

                This route is a little way from the La Bresse ski resorts. It is easy up to Lac de Blanchemer, but becomes more challenging as you approach Rainkopf. However, the exceptional panoramic view from the summit makes it well worth the effort.
