Nicknamed the “pearl of the Vosges”, Lake Gérardmer is the largest natural lake in the massif. Lined with beaches, pontoons and watersports bases, it offers almost every water activity: paddle, sailing, pedalo, wakeboard, boat cruises and supervised swimming in summer. The lively resort town around it makes a perfect base for exploring the high Vosges.
