Departure from Labaroche (Haut-Rhin)
Labaroche is a very large commune. This hike takes you around the upper part of the village, so the elevation gain is modest. The route is divided into two parts and goes around Le Cras and Petit Hohnack. The detour around Le Cras follows forest paths to the Herrenwasen pass.
This hike includes a few sections on small mountain roads and is particularly recommended in autumn when nature is ablaze with colour.

Departure from Ammerschwihr (Haut-Rhin)
A lovely, easy walk that takes you from vineyards to woodland, allowing you to explore this promontory between the Kaysersberg valley and Ammerschwihr. At the end of the route, you can admire the little Saint-Wolfgang Chapel in Kaysersberg, as well as magnificent views of the plain and Ammerschwihr.

Departure from Kaysersberg (Haut-Rhin)
An easy walk that takes you through the Vallon du Limbach and its moss-covered forests, which have unfortunately suffered greatly from various storms. The upper section of the route takes you through beautiful mixed woodland, with conifers, oaks and beech trees. Suitable for all seasons but ideal on a warm, sunny day, as the valley is very shaded. The rest of the route is also in the shade of tall trees.

Departure from Turckheim (Haut-Rhin)
Viticulture is an integral part of the Alsatian landscape. There is even a route named after it. This route is the third stage of the vineyard trail and links Turckheim to Ribeauvillé. There are numerous vantage points, indeed they are almost everywhere outside the villages. The villages themselves are very traditional, with pretty half-timbered houses, and possess an undeniable charm. The region’s heritage is equally well represented.

Departure from Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) (Haut-Rhin)
Stage thirteen, from Ribeauvillé to Le Bonhomme, is very long and involves a significant climb. It marks the hiker’s entry into the Hautes-Vosges and its first major peaks: Hirzberg and Brézouard, via the Lapoutroie valley. With a mountain atmosphere and superb views in store.

Departure from Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) (Haut-Rhin)
A leisurely second stage, apart perhaps from the total distance. It takes place mainly in the shade on mostly flat paths. You’ll pass beneath the Petit Brézouard and give the Grand Brézouard a wide berth – as it is a wildlife sanctuary – before heading directly to Le Haïcot and then on to the Col des Bagenelles.

A stage of around twenty kilometres that begins in the shade of the forest, then runs alongside the Hirschsteine and Spitzenfels rocks, with a few sections secured by metal steps and fixed handrails, before continuing along the ridges after the Col de la Schlucht and passing beneath thethird-highest peak in the Vosges, the Hohneck.
