Gazon du Faing

Highlight • Summit

Extending over five kilometres, this nature reserve forms a magnificent plateau of high stubble. Exposed to the winds between 1,200 and 1,300 meters above sea level, these moors do not allow vegetation to develop and create a landscape of typical Vosges shrubs. On its eastern slope, a ditch forms, offering magnificent views overlooking the four lakes.

View of Rocher Hans and Lac Blanc

Highlight • Viewpoint

Exciting and challenging part, absolutely recommendable.
Start the Rocher du Hans from the Lac Blanc car park or slightly below.
 Something overcrowded in good weather who does not mind, is rewarded with a great view of the Lac Blanc
For me an absolute highlight!
Good footwear and sure-footedness required, not entirely safe when wet.

View of Lac Blanc

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lake region is one of the most beautiful in the Vosges. It is enough to admire the photos of the Lac Blanc to notice it. Walking through the Hautes Chaumes and seeing the lakes looming below is simply magnificent.
