Activity description

Spend an incredible day between the Vosges and the Haut-Rhin hiking between the different lakes of glacial origin in Alsace!

You can't imagine what the Vosges mountains have in store for you, and what's more, they are only a stone's throw from Colmar and Mulhouse in Alsace! That's why Destination Sport Nature invites you for a beautiful day hike in the Vosges mountains, to discover the lakes of glacial origin.

This excursion in the Vosges will take place in the company of a professional mountain guide who will give you all the information you need about the splendid landscapes that await you. He will tell you in detail about the 4 high altitude lakes that you will cross on your way: the Lac Vert, also called Lac de Soultzeren, which is located at the foot of the Tanet massif; the Lac Forlet, also called Lac des Truites and which is the highest of the Vosges lakes (1,066 m); the Lac Blanc, connected by a pipe to the last lake, the Lac Noir, located 120 meters downstream.

Magnificent panoramas of the Vosges mountain landscapes will be offered to you during this unforgettable hike in Alsace!
