Around Gérardmer, nature is discovered on foot, along trails and waymarked paths. Forests, ridges, valleys and viewpoints make up an ideal terrain for hiking, accessible at every pace. From La Réserve, the first routes are easy to reach, setting out to encounter the Vosges landscape.
The area offers a wide variety of routes, from peaceful trails to more demanding hikes. Walks along the ridgelines, forest paths, marked circuits or guided outings: everyone finds their own way to explore the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park. Some hikes lead to farms or iconic viewpoints, while others invite a more athletic immersion.
Nordic walking, trail running and hikes around the waterfalls shape the surroundings of Gérardmer. Sites such as Saut de la Bourrique or the climb up to the Tour de la Merelle offer routes appreciated for their variety and their panoramas. Another way to experience the mountains, more dynamic, always in contact with nature.
The greenway complements the hiking offer with developed, accessible routes. These former railway lines converted for new use make it possible to connect valleys and villages on foot, by bike or on cross-country skis depending on the season. Designed for walking and cycling, the greenway becomes a cross-country skiing or roller skiing route in winter depending on conditions. A route appreciated for its continuity, accessibility and the diversity of the landscapes it crosses.
Starting from the hotel, the first walks come together easily, around the lake or on the nearby trails. For longer hikes, the team can direct you to routes suited to your pace, the season and your wishes. Advice, a starting point, a route idea: everything is in place so you can set off with peace of mind and fully enjoy the Vosges landscapes
