Since you’re heading to Gérardmer, why not make the most of the mountains or the lake by trying out a unique activity? Located in the heart of the Vosges Mountains, between Colmar, Mulhouse, and Epinal, “the pearl of the Vosges” offers a wealth of activities, each more fun than the last: nature, adventure, winter sports… and there’s even a casino. Here’s a guide to the best things to do in this little corner of paradise.
If you want to make a day out with family, friends, or during a bachelor or bachelorette party in Alsace truly special, a boat ride is the perfect group activity! It lets you chat over a drink while fully enjoying the scenery around you. You’ll glide across the waters of a lake spanning over 115 hectares, at an elevation of 660 meters, nestled among the mountains. It’s the perfect way to spend a special moment immersed in nature with your loved ones!
Race down the slope at full speed and take flight on a tandem paragliding adventure. You’ll experience the incredible sensation of flying in a setting that’s sure to leave a lasting impression! For 15 minutes, an hour, or half a day, you’ll explore the Vosges National Park and soar over the lakes for a breathtaking experience. If you want to learn to fly on your own, options are available in the form of courses, introductory sessions, or comprehensive training programs.
South of Gérardmer in La Bresse, head to the base of the Roches Beuty for a climbing session that’s a bit challenging but very enjoyable! Halfway between rock climbing and via ferrata, via cordata involves scaling cliffs while roped together. A fun and friendly atmosphere awaits you, and at the end of your climb, you’ll be rewarded with a magnificent view of La Bresse and the landscape of the Vosges National Park.
What could be better than a good hike to fully enjoy the scenery offered by the town of Gérardmer? Set out on a rejuvenating hike for half a day or a full day—there are many trails to choose from depending on your skill level. You can choose to stroll around the lake, hike up to the Col de Sapois to see the Saut de la Bourrique waterfall, go snowshoeing around Xonrupt, reach the Mérelle observatory, or take a walk through the Gérardmer State Forest. Unique landscapes guaranteed in both winter and summer!
If you’re an adventurer at heart, try a survival course in the Vosges to push your limits! This unusual and original activity involves living for 24, 48, or 72 hours in the wild, where you’ll be on your own—foraging for your own food, building your own shelter, and starting a fire. The perfect activity for a group looking to step outside their comfort zone!
Enjoy a ski resort located practically in the heart of the town of Gérardmer. You can hit the slopes on skis or a snowboard along 40 km of runs spread across 21 different trails. Plus, play areas and sledding lessons are available for free. This outing is perfect for having fun and making memories with family, friends, or during a bachelor or bachelorette party.
