Lac Blanc - Gazon du Faing

MASSIF DES VOSGES Verified partner 

Selected alternatives for you

    A beautiful getaway in the heart of the Vosges Massif, between forests, high-altitude grasslands, and granite rocks shaped by time. The path gently winds through beech forests, rises towards the open ridges, offering superb views of the surrounding valleys and, in clear weather, as far as the distant Alps.

    Along the route, the hiker may encounter a herd of Vosgian cows, the murmur of a stream, and discover the most remarkable sequence of high-altitude lakes in the massif. A typical Vosges hike: peaceful, natural, and rich in history.
