Perched on the Route des Crêtes, the Markstein resort rolls out its gentle slopes facing the Grand Ballon and the fir forests of the Hautes-Vosges. Here, tobogganing is a joyful interlude: dedicated areas, panoramic views stretching as far as the crests, and a natural setting accessible to families and lovers of great descents alike.

Renting a toboggan at Le Markstein simplifies everything: you arrive, you strap on, you slide. After a snowfall, mornings are often the most pleasant, with colder, grippier snow. In the late afternoon, the golden light on the stubble fields provides a magical backdrop. North- and east-facing slopes keep the snow better; in the event of a thaw or a breeze, check the snow and wind report, as the weather changes quickly on the crests.
