Description

Join me on this 3-day snowshoeing trip and discover the natural beauty of the Vosges Mountains forest and its snowy stubble, while enjoying the pleasures of naturally warm thermal waters in ancient Roman baths.

The Vosges Mountains -or Massif des Vosges- are a range of low mountains in eastern France, close to the border with Germany. The unique winter landscape of the beautiful Vosges forest is the perfect setting for magical hikes on the snow. You will also have the opportunity to relax on a great spa center, in a warm thermal bath, contemplating beautiful Roman remains more than 2000 years old.

On the first day, we will enjoy a great snowshoe hike of about 4 hours. On the second day, we will hike and recharge our energy through sylvotherapy. It will take us about 6 hours. This great method looks to improve our wellness through a direct contact with nature, forest, trees and their special energy. Finally, we will spend the third day enjoy a relaxing day at the Roman thermal baths.

You will enjoy an unforgettable stay! It will be a breath of fresh air and relaxation in your life! We will be staying at a friendly farmhouse-inn with a cozy and friendly atmosphere. We will have delicious traditional meals at lunch and every night, consisting of fresh local products, in a wooden cottage in the heart of the Vosges forest.

For our snowshoe hikes I suggest you to bring a light small backpack with water, a few cereal bars and a extra warm clothing.

So what are you waiting for? Check the dates below and book your trip! Come join me on this unique programme in the Vosges Mountains.

What people are saying about Eric

Superbe week-end de rando raquette avec un guide passionné, attentif aux autres, hyper compétent et amoureux de la nature et de ses bienfaits. Le week-end rando est également devenu un week-end gastronomique avec un pique-nique d'anthologie composé de produits locaux excellents. Le mot d'ordre de ce week-end: profitons de la vie et de la nature ! L'organisation du trek était également impeccable. Merci Éric pour ces purs moments de bonheur! JF

Regarder, admirer, observer, contempler, respirer, savourer la vie qui nous entoure devrait être ce qui nous anime à chaque instant. Si cela ne peut être le cas à chaque seconde, sachez le faire alors le temps d un week end, d un jour, d une heure.... Et qui de mieux pour vous accompagner dans cette démarche qu une personne passionnée par cette vie et cet amour du partage. Merci à toi Eric et à bientôt.

Prendre le temps de regarder et d'écouter la Nature durant un week-end "bain de forêt". Ces instants ont été merveilleux et m'ont permis de me ressourcer. Merci Éric pour ton accompagnement durant cette belle promenade. Meilleurs souvenirs à l'équipe du 14 juillet 2018.

Je te dis à bientôt Eric et encore un grand merci car c est sur je reviendrai. Et bisous au groupe 14 juillet 2018. Au top
