Day 1: Welcome to LAPOUTROIE, a green town at the bottom of a splendid valley bordered by meadows and pine forests. Located on the geographical limit between Alsace and the Vosges, it is a village known for its delicious brandys and its famous Munster cheese.
Day 2: Our hiking circuit takes us to the Brézouard, summit of the Vosges massif and northern limit of the Hautes Vosges (1229 m above sea level) from where we have several magnificent panoramas over the entire massif and the plain from Alsace. We continue our way through the Bagenelles, to end our day of hiking in BONHOMME, a charming mountain village. (6h / 14km / + 810m / -550m)
Day 3: Direction Etang du Devin, a marsh full of floral varieties and rare species. It is a wild and protected place whose atmosphere immediately seduces. We continue our route towards Tête Des Faux, a summit which takes its name from the beech forest (Fau in old French) which covered it. There we can see ancient vestiges dating from the 1914 war because this place was a front line during the First World War. We continue our journey to the impressive site of Lac Blanc, an altitude lake embedded in a glacial cirque at an altitude of around 1050 meters and dominated by the strange "Hans" rock. We arrive in ORBEY, the land of a thousand streams, at the foot of the blue line of the Vosges. (6h / 16km / + 530m / -690m)
Day 4: End of stay after breakfast.
