Ourche (rivière) walks
The Saône and the Ourche
A lovely walk with plenty of points of interest, including Pont Tatal with its climbing and bungee jumping site, and Froideval Abbey set in lush green surroundings.
Many other points of interest await you along the route.
The Étang Bleu and the Museum of Iron, Glass and Wood
An easy walk taking you past ponds and through woodland. Discover a superb pond with crystal-clear water in the heart of the forest.
Stop off at the Clairey Residence Museum to discover the valley’s heritage of traditional crafts.
Waterfall, carpet of moss and an unusual sculpture at the Gorge le Loup
An “adventure” walk along the Houdrie Valley and the Gorge le Loup Valley, above and alongside the Ruisseau de Thiètry, with beautiful green moss on the rocks and lovely waterfalls if the water level permits. The walk takes you along unpaved roads and forest paths. The best time of year for this route is spring. We recommend using the Visorando app, as some sections of the trail are poorly marked.
Verbamont, Moscow and Jerusalem in a single day!
A handful of stragglers lost in the aftermath of the Grande Armée’s rout are said to have inspired the names of a few local places in this corner of the Vosges, between the fir and deciduous forests, the valley and the ‘Plaine de Moscou’. The hamlets of Moscou and Jérusalem lie along the way, a little nod to geography and history. You can pick up a jar of honey from the Miellerie de Jérusalem or stay in a cabin at the “La Clairière du Verbamont” campsite.
The Étang Bleu and the Étangs de Clairey in the heart of the forest
An adventurous walk through a diverse forest, past numerous ponds at Clairey, the Étang Bleu and the Morillon, the Museum of Glass, Iron and Wood, and the blueberry farm at Briseverre.
Towards Tatal Bridge
A route taking in the Tatal Bridge and the little town of Darney – a must-see.

Circular route mainly through woodland, where you’ll hike through forests covered in green moss. Highlights include impressive rocks, a river, streams and small waterfalls.
Autour du Verbamont en suivant les ruisseaux et rivières
La randonnée débute sur le plateau du Verbamont. Vous traverserez les chênaies puis descendrez dans une première vallée d'un ruisseau sauvage, en saison quelques petites cascades et un paysage de mousses verte. Découverte d'un bel étang à Senennes, puis votre parcours se poursuit surplombant la rivière Ourche toujours sur des petits sentiers forestiers.
La majeure partie de cette boucle se fait sur des chemins forestiers, parfois difficiles d'accès, et hors des sentiers. Il est fortement conseillé de se munir de l'application Visorando afin d'éventuellement se géolocaliser.
