Rabodeau (rivière) walks

Leaving from the Lac de la Maix, in a beautiful setting, we pass through the Clairière de Prayé, the Haut du Bon Dieu and the charming Fontaine Colas Lorrain spring. We also visit two sites of trough or cup rock. A hike through beautiful woodland with pleasant stretches of open country.

A circular hike starting in the forest and leading to the remarkable rock formation of the Chapelle de Bipierre, then continuing along the ridge via the Hautes Chaumes, with views of the Donon throughout. The hike ends at the peaceful Lac de la Maix.

This hike follows part of the Sentier des Passeurs trail. It offers beautiful views of Haute Loge and the Hautes Chaumes, as well as picturesque surroundings around Lake Maix. This route is not difficult, except for its length.

This hike starts on a forest trail in a wild environment and then continues in open country on the Hautes Chaumes. Next, head south towards the Abri de la Haute Loge shelter, then north to walk along the ridge. Return via the Basse des Loges and the Chemin des Italiens.

This hike leads to the Chatte Pendue viewpoint and the summit of Hautes Loges, which offer a breathtaking 360° view of the neighbouring peaks: Donon, Rocher de Mutzig, Massif du Champ du Feu and Col du Hantz. The only difficulty is the climb to La Chatte Pendue. So start slowly.

This varied and fairly easy hike starts in front of Senones Abbey and climbs to the Quatre-Bancs crossroads and then the Col du Dialtrepoix in a fairly wild environment. On the way back, you descend gently along a forest road that offers wide views of the valley at times.

A pleasant hike in warm weather as it is mainly in the shade and mostly on paths, allowing you to discover Lac de la Maix.

From the Col de Prayé to the Lac de la Maix via La Corbeille, walk along the peaks to discover some interesting sights: cup-marked stones, remains from the First World War, views of Alsace and Donon. 16/09/2024: Starting point changed. The access road and car park at Lac de la Maix are inaccessible for an indefinite period.

A beautiful hike in the heart of nature to the Hautes Chaumes from Moussey. The length and elevation gain are perfect for an average hiker.

From Moussey (Vosges), a circular hike that passes through the Rouges Terres to climb the Hautes Chaumes and then the Haute Loge: 360° view. Return to the starting point via the Sentier des Passeurs. This section of the historic trail is the Vosges part, with the French part starting at the Maison Forestière de Salm in Alsace. From 1940 onwards, this trail was used by smugglers to guide escapees, those refusing to participate in the STO (compulsory labour service) and all kinds of people who wanted to flee Nazi barbarism to free France. Most of the elevation gain is concentrated in the first part of the hike, up to Haute Loge.

Three days of hiking and camping around the Val de Senones, passing by beautiful viewpoints. Campsites at the Tête du Coquin and the Haute Loge.
