Wintersports in Southern Alsace

The Vosges range offers winter sports lovers a huge choice of sporting possibilities including downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, dog sleigh rides and biathlon, etc. Together, the resorts offer a total of 170 ski lifts and 1000 km of marked-out trails for cross country skiing.

Less "touristy" and more easily accessible, the Vosges range is the perfect place to enjoy a skiing holiday as a family. Even if its slopes are more undulating than those of the Alps or the Pyrenees, the Vosges can also boast a number of red and black slopes. What's more, the Markstein resort hosted the trials for the world slalom cup between 1983 and 1987. In all, the Vosges has 13 resorts, the most famous of which are Markstein, Lac Blanc and Schnepfenried.

Ski-touring enthusiasts will find perfect cross country skiing conditions here. As an example, you can practise your favourite sport in les Trois Fours resort where more than 50 km of slopes await you.

If you were looking forward to walking in the forest but the weather conditions are far from ideal, then why not rent a set of snow shoes and head off to discover all the richness and diversity of the Vosges range? By trying something different, you'll quickly find that you can admire the local fauna and flora under perfect conditions in a silent, snowy landscape.

Le Massif des Vosges est tout autant le paradis du ski de fond classique et du skating. Avec plus d’un millier de km d’itinéraires balisés qui serpente entre lacs et forêts et offrent le choix entre randonnées familiales paisibles ou sorties sportives.
