Exploring the Vosges forest

The forest starts almost right at your cabin door. With the family, walks quickly turn into an adventure: hunting for pinecones, observing the trees, spotting animal tracks, or simply enjoying the fresh air.

From Champdray, you can discover the Spiémont trail, a lovely hike through the forest that leads to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Vosges landscape. The standard route is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5 hours to walk, and a shorter 3.5 km version is stroller-friendly, making it a great outing with young children. Once you reach the Spiémont, the orientation table lets you admire the blue line of the Vosges as well as the Vologne, Neuné, and Barba valleys.

A simple activity, easily accessible from the estate, perfect for sharing a family moment in the heart of the Vosges nature.

Discover Gérardmer and its lake

Located near the estate, Gérardmer is a must-visit stop during a family getaway in the Vosges.

In spring, the forest comes back to life, inviting you to enjoy your first long walks.
