Rocher de la Princesse Emma walks

Le Champ du Feu, one of the highest points in the Bas-Rhin at an altitude of 1,098 m, a winter sports resort ideal for cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and snowshoeing, an icon for all generations of Alsatians.This lovely circular route is an extension of the Champ du Feu circular route (hike No. 43137315 of 11 Dec. 2023); the first 5 kilometres are similar to the original route, but the rest changes and extends the circular route by 2 km.Eighty per cent of the route is through woodland, intended for walkers and, in snowy weather, for snowshoe hikers, and mainly follows footpaths and a few forest tracks. It crosses a few marked cross-country ski trails on groomed snow; please walk alongside these so as not to disturb the skiers or damage the trails.Beautiful rocks and trees, with lovely views, can be found throughout this fairly varied route.There is a lovely shelter near the end of the route, with refreshments available in the first third and at the start/finish.
