With its highest peak at 1424 metres in altitude, the Grand-Ballon is the highest summit in the Vosges mountains.
It is well-known to hiking, downhill skiing and cross-country ski enthusiasts. A short walk (approximately 30 minutes) will lead you from the hotel to the summit. From there, enjoy the breathtaking and panoramical view on the Alsace plain, the Jura and the Alps, one not to miss if you are a mountain lover !
