Activity description
Experience an unforgettable moment and go for a snowshoe walk during sunset at the Lac Blanc!
The Lac Blanc is a high altitude lake in the Vosges mountains. It is known for the Hans rock, topped by a statue of the Virgin, which dominates the lake. Now imagine this place sublimated by the warm colours of the sunset. The pink, orange or red reflected on the snow-covered Vosges landscapes ensure that you will be able to admire a natural spectacle in a magical setting!
On snowshoes, you can share a unique moment with your family and friends and enjoy the riches of the Vosges mountains. You will walk through forests of beech and fir trees, along picturesque paths, and through vast, solitary panoramas. On your way, you will discover many lakes of glacial origin, the Gazon du Faing as well as the "Hans castle" which overlooks the Lac Blanc.
If this snowshoe hike gives you an appetite, you will have the opportunity to taste a mountain menu in a typical Vosges farmhouse.
All Destination sport nature guides have a high level of training which guarantees their competence to supervise, lead, teach and train people or groups in the mountains in safety.
