Moselotte (rivière) walks

This hike will take us on a day-long journey to discover some of the most beautiful lakes in the Vosges, four of which are nestled in remarkable glacial cirques.

Where the ridge splits in two, one towards the Grand Ballon and the other towards the Grand Ventron, the Rainkopf offers an exceptional 360° panorama. There are many points of interest along the route, including Lac de Blanchemer and its floating peat bog, Lac de La Lande and its dam, Chaume du Firsmiss, the beautiful Machais peat bog, the glacial cirques and their scree slopes, and views of the Vosges and Alsace peaks and the Fecht and Thur valleys.

A magnificent, fairly easy hike on high moorland with sweeping views. From the summit of Kastelberg, you can see the main peaks of the Vosges and, on a clear day, the Alps.

Lac des Corbeaux is a beautiful little mountain lake that attracts many visitors, especially in summer. It is very easy to walk around with the family in an idyllic setting. At the start, the Haut des Bluches campsite also offers superb tree house rentals. A giant zip line also passes right over our heads. In short, it's not to be missed.

From La Bresse (centre), this is an easy 6-hour hike around the beautiful Hautes-Vosges valley.

A beautiful snowshoe hike from the Col de la Schlucht.

Walk along the Vosges ridges down to Lac de la Lande. This walk follows the Hautes Vosges stubble trails among Vosges cows, passing not far from the farmhouse inns of Breitzousen, Fershmuss and Schmargult. Further down, through the shady beech and spruce woods, you reach Lac de la Lande, an ideal spot for a picnic. The very reasonable elevation gain of 250 m over 9.5 km means that this hike is not particularly difficult. 06/02/2023: Hiking is prohibited until further notice by municipal decree due to rock and stone falls on theGR®531.

Randonnée en raquettes (ou à pied en été) en partant du camping du haut des Bluches ; montée vers le Lac des Corbeaux et retour par l'Étang de Sèchemer.

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 varied and challenging loop, winding its way through the stubble fields and forests of the Vosges, offers beautiful views of the lakes and Alsace on one side and Lorraine on the other. You may even be lucky enough to spot some chamois. Some difficult sections are reminiscent of the Sentier des Roches. 06/02/2023: Hiking prohibited until further notice by municipal decree due to rock and stone falls on theGR®®531.
