Departure from La Bresse (Vosges)
The Hohneck is one of the must-see peaks in the Vosges. This peak is directly accessible by car. It is also possible to climb it via the paths that start at the bottom of the surrounding valleys. This hike takes you from the La Bresse ski resort to the Hohneck, in a circular fashion, before returning via the Roche du Diable, Lac de Retournemer and the Cascade Charlemagne. The walk is not particularly difficult, but does involve a significant climb, rewarded by splendid panoramic views on the upper section of the route, and several sections on the descent to Lac de Retournemer that require caution.
