Renting a snowshoe at Ballon d'Alsace is the ideal way to explore an emblematic Vosges peak in winter. In just a few steps, you'll leave the parking lot and glide through a landscape of frosted fir trees, open thatches and gentle ridges, offering superb panoramic views of the Vosges, sometimes as far as the Jura and the Alps when the air is clear.

The signposted itineraries are suitable for everyone. Families will appreciate the forest loops, sheltered from the wind and perfect for a first experience. More inquisitive hikers will aim for the ridge or a belvedere at sunset, with golden light over the valleys and, on some days, a frozen lake below. Renting snowshoes in Ballon d'Alsace also gives you the freedom to choose your own pace and stop to listen to the silence of the mountains.
