Snowshoe outing to discover Ballon Alsace
If you love snow and mountains, this is the activity for you! Discover the Ballon d’Alsace ski resort on snowshoes with Destination Sport Nature. This adventure in the heart of nature promises to be an enjoyable experience to share with family and friends.
Located in the Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges, the Ballon d’Alsace rises to an altitude of over 1,200 m, on the border between Alsace, Lorraine and Franche-Comté. Classified as a Natura 2000 site, it is both a protected area and an emblematic peak of the Vosges massif. On this private snowshoe outing, discover the magnificent snow-covered landscapes of the Vosges massif, including the Black Forest, the Jura and the Belfort Gap. You’ll also see rocky cliffs, stubble fields and peat bogs, as well as waterfalls and the Ballons Comtois Reserve.
Enjoy an introduction to snowshoeing as you begin your journey towards the majestic Ballon d’Alsace. Discover historic monuments such as the Vierge du Sommet, the Notre-Dame du Ballon, the Demineurs monument and the equestrian statue of Joan of Arc. Enjoy a complimentary hot drink for a short break. To complete the adventure, cross the fir forest and enjoy the splendid view over the surrounding valleys.
This walk lasts 2h30 and is accessible to a group of 6 people maximum. So reserve your place today, and let yourself be guided as you explore the Ballon d’Alsace.
