Description of the walk

Departure from La Rosière Town Hall.

(S/E) Follow the signpostedhiking trail that starts behind the town hall. Pass in front of "la table du partage" (the sharing table), made from a single slab of granite. The path climbs slightly.

(1) Turn left at the first intersection onto the very narrow path, which climbs a little more steeply. Turn left when you reach a path perpendicular to the one you are following. When you reach a fork, take the path on the right, which will lead you to a road.

(2) Turn left onto this road and follow it, ignoring three entrances on the right. Look for a path perpendicular to the road on the right, in the fourth entrance.

(3) Take this path on the right and turn left at the first fork you come to. The path climbs gently, passing close to Fort de Rupt (entrance signposted 150 metres away). When you come to a path crossing perpendicularly, continue straight ahead. A little further on, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Moselle valley. Continue straight ahead, ignoring an entrance on the left, until you come to a wide path on your right.

(4) Turn left onto this path, which makes a wide left turn. Ignore the entrances on the right and left in this turn. Look for the first entrance on the left, just before a small right/left turn in the path.

(5) Follow this small path straight ahead, staying almost on the hillside, ignoring four entrances on the left. Turn left into thefifth entrance and join the D57 and the Croix du Geai.
(highest point of the hike).

(6) Turn left onto the road, then right at the first fork. A little further on, take the first path on your right and follow it until you reach a crossroads with four paths.

(7) Turn right onto the path on the right and you will arrive at the small hamlet of Les Saumages.

(8) Turn completely left. When you reach a fork, take the left branch. Continue straight ahead until you reach a small road.

(9) Turn left onto this road. Continue straight ahead, passing through the hamlets of Breloufle, Maison Martin and Maison Neuve.

(10) Just before you reach Chez Pinot, turn right onto a steeply descending path that leads to a road.

(11) Turn right onto this road. At the first crossroads, turn left, then right at the next crossroads. Continue straight ahead to reach La Rosière and the town hall (S/E).

Route "Map and diagram of: La Rosière - Le Roseria" Very beautiful hike (full sun day) and superb views. Be careful on the last section of the return trip after point 10 (slope >=15%) towards La Rosière; 300m before the exit; in freezing weather, this section may be frozen.:
At this time of year, the car park behind the town hall was full (max. 6 cars).

Hello,
Hike completed on 7 August 2023 in good weather. Very easy to park with a car park right at the start of the hike. Very well signposted with no particular difficulties. It climbs a little at the start but remains relatively easy. Beautiful vegetation and stunning views of La Planche des Belles Filles and the Vosges. There is a lovely little wash house next to the car park, ideal for cleaning your shoes if you are hiking in rainy weather.

A truly beautiful hike, with a series of gentle ascents and descents that are very pleasant as they allow you to discover a different landscape each time. Beautiful views of the Moselle valley, among others. The starting point is really nice and very convenient. Congratulations to those in charge of this facility. The signposting is excellent.
Well done. Michel Jacquet
