          Storming our mountains, summer and winter alike

          The Vosges Massif is a real paradise for fresh-air lovers. For a memorable midwinter sporting weekend, try your hand at cross-country or downhill skiing on Gérardmer’s snows, hurtle down Lake Blanc resort’s slopes on a toboggan, and make your way across the Champ du Feu plateau’s hilly landscape on snowshoes. In summer, our mountains have countless walking itineraries and breathtaking vistas for you to enjoy.
