Weekend snowshoeing around Lac Blanc in Les Vosges, France

I invite you to a great snowshoeing weekeend in the heart of the beautiful Vosges mountains, around the Lac Blanc ski resort, in the historic region of Alsace in northeastern France.

The name of the resort derives from the Lac Blanc, a beautiful lake nearby, situated at 1055 meters. The area surrounding the lake becomes a perfect destination for unique snowshoeing tours during the winter. You will discover stunning views over the valley and the Vosges peaks.

Our base during these days will be a comfortable and well equipped hostel, with an on-demand kitchen, nestled in Orbey, in the the upper part of the Kaysersberg Valley. It is very close to the Gazon du Faing peak, the Calvary Cal and the slopes of the intimate family resort of Lac Blanc.

We will meet at the lodge around 5 pm and after settling in we will enjoy an aperitif at the hostel bar. In the evening we will have dinner together. Next morning, our snowhoeing adventure begins! We will have breakfast, prepare a packed lunch and get ready for our first tour.

On our first day, we will enjoy a great snowshoeing tour, exploring the magical winter landscapes on beautiful trails, passing by the Tête des Faux, the Devin pond, the Bonhomme forest and the Tête des Immerlins. Our snowshoe hike today will cover a total distance of easy 18 kilometers.

Next day, on Sunday, after having breakfast we will put our snowshoes on and enjoy a 12 kilometer hike on the snow. We will walk towards the Lac Blanc, the Lac Noir, the Gazon du Faing ride and then return to the cottage.
