Vagney walks

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 waterfall, religious sites and a beautiful view of the town of Remiremont. For changes to the route, see the reviews

A short but very beautiful hike to the summit of Haut de Bélué, 870 m high. It overlooks the Grandrupt valley and offers a superb panorama of the Haute Moselle valley, dominated by the silhouettes of the Alsace and Servance balloons. The site features a forest chalet open to the public, a children's play area, picnic tables and an orientation table with a view of the Vosges ridges.

This easy route invites you to discover Le Tholy from different angles. This loop, which is fully marked with green rings and red crosses, follows small roads, forest tracks and footpaths. Suitable for pushchairs, the aim of this walk is also to discover the village's wayside crosses.

An easy hike that passes by two pretty waterfalls, with trails through the woods and the Vosges countryside. The route follows the typical Club Vosgien signage, which may seem a little complex and confusing at first but, with a little practice, proves to be particularly effective, provided you have an IGN map to refer to.

The first part of this circuit alternates between forest and meadow, dotted with pretty ponds. The second part, which is more "airy", offers magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding hills. The return to the inn invites you to enjoy a well-deserved rest overlooking the fishing ponds

From La Bresse (centre), this is an easy 6-hour hike around the beautiful Hautes-Vosges valley.

A trail in the heart of the Vosges forest will take you to two magnificent waterfalls and across a few small streams. Of course, like all water trails, it is best to visit outside the dry seasons, otherwise it loses all its appeal. The trail is fairly well marked (red rings) and there are picnic tables along the way (especially in the first part).

A superb four-hour walk in the hills above Ménil-Thillot (between Cornimont and Le Thillot), best done in May or June when the meadows and broom are in bloom! This easy walk is an unforgettable foray into the bountiful nature of the Hautes-Vosges.

A very beautiful circuit in the hills above Ménil-Thillot. There are a few sections in the forest, but most of the time there are beautiful views in all directions.

A short walk offering a taste of everything that makes the village of Le Ménil so charming: unspoilt nature dotted with religious heritage sites scattered throughout the mountains, pretty views and picturesque spots ideal for refreshing breaks or family picnics.

Saut de la Bourrique is a waterfall in the Vosges mountains in the commune of Gérardmer. The legend associated with the name of this waterfall actually comes from a bourrique that belonged to a lord. Returning from the crusades, he was attacked by bandits, and to protect him the animal threw itself on them at the foot of the waterfall, where it perished with the miscreants. 28/05/2024: Hiking not possible at present: Sentier du saut de la bourrique closed from (1) to (2) by municipal by-law since 15 March 2024 for works.

Starting at the Étang Noir and its lookout point, the trail leads from pond to pond, skirting a peat bog and crossing a pond on a wooden bridge leading to a chalet, making for a shady and very easy walk. As a bonus, there are lovely views of the Vosges mountains and the Thillot valley.

Hike on the border of the Vosges and Haute-Saône with magnificent panoramic views of the village of Château-Lambert, the upper Ognon valley, the upper Moselle valley and the plateau of a thousand ponds.

A variety of trails, some of which run through the woods, and forest paths will take you from the picturesque village of Beulotte-Saint-Laurent to the Plateau des Grilloux, passing through the hamlet of La Grande Rocholle. You will walk through a hilly landscape of peat bogs and ponds. On the way back via the long circuit, you will discover the remains of the old Moulin du Hanneau mill and take the small road that runs alongside the Ruisseau du Beuletin stream to return to the village.

Route slightly modified, description revised and corrected. This is a lovely, easy route that allows you to admire around sixty ponds. Information boards help you discover and understand how these ponds were formed and are used. Much of the route is on small paved roads. This route is partly based on signposts in the field, so be sure to follow the description carefully.
