Sapois (Vosges) walks

A fairly long circular forest loop starting from Sapois, with elevation changes and several winding sections, ideal for a challenging hike with beautiful scenery. You’ll come across a wide variety of points of interest.

There are numerous waterfalls on the slopes of the Vosges mountains. These include the Saut du Bouchot and the Saut de la Bourrique. These two waterfalls can be visited on a long walk, which is shown here. There are many advantages to this route, with unique views at Moyemont and Rocher des Ducs, but there is also cultural interest with a passage at Falaise de Lyris. A large part of the hike is through forest.

The Cascade de la Pissoire waterfall is one of the best known in the Vosges. It can be accessed from Haut du Tot. You can round off your visit by exploring the surrounding peaks, such as Moyemont and Chèvre Roche, both of which offer remarkable panoramic views of the region. The first part of the route is uphill to Chèvre Roche, passing by the Fontaine Baptistminicandré fountain. After Chèvre Roche, the route winds its way up to Moyemont, passing by the Giant Fir Tree, the Lambia Cross, the Pissoire Waterfall and the village of Haut du Tot. The final part of the hike takes you to the Balcons de la Hazelle and the Étang des Sangsues.

Very beautiful panoramic views of the Moselotte valley with picturesque little balcony paths.

From Vagney to La Piquante Pierre, a key site of the Resistance, and Les Roches Saint-Jacques with its pudding.

A beautiful viewpoint at the Roche des Ducs overlooking the Rochesson Valley or Bouchot Valley. A waterfall visible from a great height and crossed by a wooden bridge.

Beautiful view from the summit of Chèvre-Roche over the Moselotte valley. Views of the Ballon d'Alsace and Servance.

This is an easy loop around the pretty mountain village of Haut du Tôt, with a few botanical, geological and perhaps photographic surprises. The Neuve Roche loop offers sights that are well worth a stroll, and the modest Pissoire waterfall marks the end of the circuit!

A lovely walk at altitude to the highest village in the Vosges department.

An easy and very pleasant walk along trails offering magnificent panoramic views throughout. At the summit of the Piquante Pierre, at an altitude of 1,008 metres, there is a magnificent view of part of the Vosges foothills and the lower Moselotte valley, as well as the surrounding high mountains. The descent takes you through the picturesque Plateaux valley, where the views are once again stunning. One last viewpoint and you will reach the Col du Haut de Fouchure, enchanted by the scenery.

Please note that this hike is currently on hold pending modifications. Due to the fall of numerous trees, the route is obstructed and must be modified. We apologise for any inconvenience. This hike focuses on small trails and thirteen viewpoints with benches around Basse-sur-le-Rupt and the summit of Haut du Roc. The route is a combination of different sections of four existing circular trails that are very well marked.Two loops are possible: 9 km or 14.5 km.

Balcony circuit on the heights of Basse-sur-le-Rupt (or Planois) below Haut du Roc. This permanent circuit was mapped out by the Planois senior citizens' club. It can be done in both directions.

A beautiful route, 80% of which is uncovered. Lots of paths and trails and few paved roads. The route runs along the edge of the forest with beautiful views of the surrounding valleys and peaks.

This hike is suitable for children who are used to hiking. There is a magnificent view at the Balcon du Solem, so why not take a short break at the picnic table at the Solem chalet?

A pleasant short hike passing by Roche des Ducs (855 m), with beautiful views of the Rochesson valley. Return via the other side, towards Menaurupt.

A circular route, mostly along shaded forest paths, which will take you to two major points of interest: halfway along the route, the surprising site of the old Plaines quarry and its magnificent view over the Tholy Valley, and at the end of the route, Chèvre Roche and its sweeping panoramic view over Vagney and the Moselotte Valley.

Set off to explore a small cavity in the rock, called the Chambre du Loup (Wolf's Chamber), at the foot of the small Lyris cliff, the Pyramid, and various other features on this site, which was used for the construction of the church and presbytery of the hamlet of Haut-du-Tôt. All this can be explored via a somewhat mystical path through a magnificent coniferous forest with moss-covered rocks.

Immerse yourself in the historic setting of a maquis, a symbol of the Resistance, visible throughout the route. A family hike (suitable for children over 6 years old) featuring natural landmarks (Piquante Pierre, Roches Saint Jacques, Tourbière, viewpoints) and panoramic views of the Vosges mountains

Overlooking the upper Moselotte valley, you will discover the secrets of the high-altitude peat bogs nestled in the Rondfaing fir forests. The return trail, which runs along a balcony, offers superb views all the way to the end, especially in autumn. This is a very easy hike, accessible to all, including children.

Panoramic walk on the Hauts de La Bresse and Cornimont. Wide paths for the most part, 200 metres of paved road. A walk to enjoy with the family and "brave little walkers".

A very pleasant walk with multiple viewpoints along the route. It will take you to the rocky summit of Haut du Roc, which rises to an altitude of 1,012 metres, an ideal place for a break, with a magnificent panorama over the Moselotte Valley as far as Remiremont. 

A pleasant hike around the La Charme biological reserve. No significant elevation gain, easy to follow thanks to the Club Vosgien markings. Some beautiful views of the valley at the start and a magnificent finale crossing the peat bog.
