Lakes
Photo: Pexels Lac Blanc
Set above 1,050 m on the Alsace side and overlooked by dramatic cliffs, Lac Blanc is one of the finest high-altitude lakes in the massif. The neighbouring four-season resort makes it a complete spot: swimming and diving in summer, a renowned bike park, ridge hikes and skiing in winter. Its rocky setting, rare in the Vosges, is worth the trip alone.
