Renting a snowshoe in Gerardmer is the best way to get a taste of winter in the Vosges. Accessible to families as well as the more athletically inclined, you can set off at the first snowfall, with no constraints, for a stroll to the rhythm of the snowflakes.

Here, the fir forests surround Lake Gérardmer and lead to the valleys of Xonrupt-Longemer and the peat bogs of Lispach. The trail winds its way between clearings, gentle ridges and views of the Hautes Vosges, sometimes right up to the edge of the Hohneck. The silence, the fresh snow, the animal tracks... the atmosphere is unique.
