This route, marked by the Club Vosgien with a red ring, gives (too) much prominence to carriageways and sections of road, making it ideal for groups.

It offers beautiful panoramic views and is a lovely walk to do in the off-season or when the temperature is not too high, as it is almost exclusively in the open.
