A wonderful hike not to be missed at this time of year, provided you are well equipped because of the snow on the summit and the paths made slippery by the frost. The views on the way back are simply breathtaking.

Very nice hike = It's a shame that to get from the Kreuzweg to the Charbonnière, you have to go downhill for a while only to come back up again...

A bit of a mess at the start, but the rest of the route is OK. Picnic stop at the Tannhutte shelter. Only viewpoint at the paragliders' runway.

Sorry, there's too much snow to do the tour, and the Auberge de la Charbonnière makes it hard to leave again.

Note the error in the positioning of WP3, which does not correspond to the explanation in the text: "take the red disc path to the right towards the Col de la Charbonnière". In fact, you need to turn right a little earlier at the following coordinates:
Right fork
N 48.37937
E 7.25765
Otherwise nothing to report; the time is correctly estimated at 4 hours with a good break for paragliders; average interest between 1 and 3.

A very nice hike. It took only 3 hours to complete. The end was magnificent, with 4 or 5 paragliders taking off in glorious sunshine. I'd recommend it!

Beautiful hike with several viewpoints over the Villé valley and an inn halfway along the route.
Done on a Saturday, no hard cat on the path, it was very pleasant.

We hiked on snow-covered ground, which was less easy on the descent after the Champ du Feu tower. But a fine hike all the same

It was a lovely walk in superb sunshine, above the mist of the valleys, on ground that was often still white from the first night frost of the year!
Knowing that the Auberge de la Charbonnière was fully booked for lunch, we planned to eat a packed lunch at the Tannhütte area.
We decided to do the hike in the opposite direction. Perfect from the start at Kreuzweg to the Tannhütte via Charbonnière! But then what? At the Tannhütte, we followed the "yellow disc" signs, which went up and up and up, and we looked for the trailhead on the right... After a while, however, we were surprised not to find any markings to the right (although there were more and more trailheads), so we retraced our steps and took the path we "felt best" ... ... quickly confirmed by a glance at our position on the Visorando app and my IGN Rando-Bruche Top 25 map that I had in my bag). We continued for about 2 km .... without ever encountering a single "yellow disc"... Has someone removed them? Or have they fallen victim to the extensive pruning work visible in the area?
I'm certainly thinking about the signposting (Visorando is not responsible for this), but I thought it was important to warn future hikers in the area ^^ It's a pity, because everything else was perfect!
We finally reached the "yellow easel", then the yurt, then the finish.
