Ballons des Vosges: a natural setting for outdoor sports

The 1,424m-high Grand Ballon peak in the Vosges mountain range towers over a region with gentle curves and slopes covered in thick pine forests. These protected landscapes dip into bucolic valleys and are sprinkled with sparkly emerald lakes. The Route des Crêtes (Route of Ridges) balanced between the Vosges mountains and Alsatian vineyards offers stunning views over the entire area. Hungry hikers will enjoy the many farmhouse inns interspersed along the route, providing many opportunities to taste specialty dishes and local products.

The Vosges mountains are an outdoor sport paradise. Hundreds of kilometres of trails for hiking and mountain biking cover the area and lead to lakes ideal for swimming and water sports. The Vosges mountains enthral visitors in every season with their changing colours. When winter arrives with its snow, the slopes open up to skiers.
Gérardmer, La Bresse-Hohneck, Schlucht and Xonrupt-Longemer transform into family-friendly winter sport resorts. Verte Vallée Campsite invites you to discover the lakes and forests of the Vosges mountains, as well as the best sites in Alsace such as Colmar with its half-timbered houses and the Haut Koeningsbourg castle that rises above the vineyards and picturesque villages of Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, Eguisheim, Ribeauvillé, and more.
