Family outing to Markstein and igloo building
Take advantage of snowy weekends to enjoy an unforgettable experience with your partner, family, friends or colleagues, in the heart of the Vosges mountains. This igloo-building winter walk at Le Markstein will plunge you into unspoilt nature, between fir forests and a friendly mountain atmosphere.
Departing from the Markstein ski resort, you’ll be met by a professional, state-certified guide who will accompany you throughout the day. The route takes you up to the Trehkopf (1266 m) and Jungfrauenkopf (1268 m) peaks, from where you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Saint-Amarin valley and the southern slopes of Lac du Wildenstein.
After the hike, it’s time for the experience! Your guide will help you build a real igloo. It’s a fun, collaborative experience that will delight young and old alike, before you head back down through a magnificent fir and spruce forest.
Along the way, you’ll discover the Vosges stubble fields, the emblematic mountain pastures used since the Middle Ages to raise Vosges cows and make the famous Munster cheese. You’ll also learn to recognize the characteristic flora and fauna of the Vosges mountains, shaped by extreme climatic conditions.
To extend this unique day, we offer a gourmet option: a mountain meal at the Treh farm inn. It’s the perfect way to round off your walk in a warm, gourmet atmosphere.
