5 sports to try this summer in the Vosges
In summer, the Vosges transforms into a life-size playground for sports and outdoor activities.
Between mountains, lakes, and forests, the region offers an idyllic setting for unforgettable sporting experiences.
Here are five disciplines to try during your stay.
If you're looking for some heights, paragliding is a popular activity in the Vosges.
From renowned sites like Gerardmer, La Bresse, or Sapois, treat yourself to a tandem flight to admire the breathtaking panoramas of the Vosges ridges.
This unforgettable experience, accessible even to beginners, will give you a sense of freedom while enjoying the scenery.
Less well-known than the classic via ferrata, the randoferrata from the source of the Moselle to Bussang combines hiking and climbing sections secured by a lifeline.
During the route, you will cross several footbridges such as rope bridges and Nepalese bridges.
The site is freely accessible for those with a minimum of 1 minute 40 seconds and a weight of 40 kg. However, you must bring your own equipment (helmet, harness, and lanyards) or rent it from the Domaine de Champé. You also have the option of hiring a state-certified instructor.
Allow approximately four hours for this activity, which combines discovery and physical challenge.
For those seeking a bit of fresh air, canyoning in the Vosges is an ideal adventure. Jumps, natural slides, and rappelling punctuate this aquatic activity, particularly in the Rahin Canyon, the La Goutte des Saules waterfalls, and the Bockloch waterfalls.
Experience thrills while exploring the region's hidden gems.
This sport is suitable for ages 8 and up, provided you can swim.
Looking for speed? Karting is a fun way to burn off some energy.
Several indoor (Ménil) and outdoor (Juvaincourt) circuits in the Vosges welcome driving enthusiasts, both beginners and experienced.
It's the perfect activity for an outing with friends or family, with a good dose of competition and laughter.
Finally, the Vosges are a popular destination for climbers. Natural climbing sites, such as "La Roche des Artistes" in Ramberchamp, the natural site "Le Champ du Bois" in the commune of Le Tholy, or the site of "La Roche de l'Ours" in Bussang, offer routes suitable for all levels.
Between granite and sandstone, the Vosges mountains provide an ideal playground for pushing your limits.
There are even training cliffs, designed for beginners, with profiles that are more inclined than vertical.
The Hôtel Le Chapitre welcomes you to a historic establishment in Remiremont, a stone's throw from hiking trails.
Located at the gateway to the Hautes-Vosges, the hotel offers every comfort with its 26 charming rooms and suites, its 1,000 m² spa, and its rooftop terrace overlooking the rooftops of Remiremont.
Also enjoy our bistronomic restaurant, which perfectly combines fine dining and local produce.
