Things to do around the gîte

Hikes, the Voie verte, waterfalls, lakes, infrared sauna, skiing depending on snow: our ideas and favourite addresses around the gîte, summer and winter.

Vagney, in the heart of the Moselotte valley

Vagney spreads between 420 and 850 m above sea level, about fifteen kilometres from Gérardmer and La Bresse. The small town has its own cinema, swimming pool, library and tennis courts. The Voie verte cycle path runs close by.
