In the heart of the Vosges mountains, Markstein is an ideal playground for gentle mountain exploration. Between fir forests, windswept stubble fields and panoramic ridges towards the Grand Ballon, snowshoeing here offers a real sense of freedom, accessible to everyone, from beginners to sporty families.

Renting a snowshoe at le Markstein makes for an easy adventure: you collect your equipment, and set off on marked routes that quickly get away from the hustle and bustle. The shores of Lac de la Lauch, the powdery edges and the crests of the Route des Crêtes make for superb loops, with views that change as the day progresses.
