Outstanding natural beauty
The moutains are so beautiful! Forests interspersed with lakes, a perfect harmony of greens and blues. The valleys and glacial cirques evoke powerful feelings of wonder and delights. The Hautes Vosges are the epitome of natural beauty. Its treasures are carefully preserved: the peat bogs house rare microscopic flora, while high-altitude fertile stubble fields flirt with the sky. Covering an altitude of between 600 and 1363 metres, each different level has its pleasures: the simple joy of getting back to basics and the delight of experiencing the great power of nature in the awe-inspiring granite and fresch-flowing springs.Superb heritage
