Christmas on the snow in Eastern France

Choose the holiday that's right for you!

Make the most of the festive season in the Grand Est to organise a holiday to suit you. Whether it's a sporting Christmas, an unusual Christmas, a gastronomic Christmas or a Christmas of well-being, choose your Christmas in the snow and enjoy some exceptional moments with your loved ones.

A sporting Christmas in the snow

Christmas is not just a time for festivities, it's also a time for holidays. With family or friends, it's the perfect time to try out new sporting activities or explore the natural snow-covered landscape. On a sunny day, strap on your skis and hit the slopes of the Vosges Massif. Laughter guaranteed! Children can also try their hand at a whole host of snow activities. The region is bursting with surprises, whether it' s a thrilling toboggan run, a game in the forest or a snowshoe hike. Even more unusual: tobogganing on rails invites tobogganing fans to the mountains for a unique outing at the Lac Blanc resort. It's sure to put stars in your children's eyes and create lasting memories of a magical Christmas in the snow!

An unusual Christmas in the snow

For mountain fans in search of an original holiday, you can also spend a night in unusual accommodation, such as a tree house. The promise of an incredible journey, lulled by the calm of nature and the laughter of your friends! In the evening, you'll enjoy the peace and warmth of your accommodation for a well-deserved night's rest. After a timeless night's sleep, head off on a mountain outing. Looking for breathtakingly beautiful scenery without having to go far? With its immense icy lakes, its forests of fir trees under their thick white coats, its easily accessible ski resorts, its cosy chalets lost in the middle of nature: the Vosges Massif is worthy of the most beautiful panoramas in Father Christmas's village, in Lapland.

A relaxing Christmas in the snow

After a beautiful day enjoying the snow, what could be better than to forget the winter cold in an enchanting setting in one of the many spa-hotels in the Grand Est? Enjoy a unique sensory experience and relax as the snowflakes twirl outside. Wrap yourself in the gentle warmth of a Jacuzzi or Finnish sauna. Succumb to the relaxing power of treatments and massages, like a wellness break for body and mind. And to prolong the feeling of calm, unwind all your tensions with the waterfalls and jets of a heated indoor pool.

And if you prefer the beneficial waters of the thermal spas, the thermal baths of Vittel, Contrexéville or Bourbonne-les-Bains welcome you for a wellness-filled Christmas in the snow. The region's pure waters have been renowned since ancient times for their unique benefits. The ideal way to recharge your batteries as a couple.

A gourmet Christmas in the snow

Make the most of Christmas in the snow with a gourmet break in a gourmet restaurant. Treat yourself to a tête-à-tête at the table of an astonishing address in the Grand Est region. Whether you're in a 4- or 5-star hotel, a Michelin-starred chef's table or one of France's best craftsmen, book a fabulous candlelit dinner in one of our exceptional establishments. A real taste experience, let yourself be surprised by a lunch or dinner in several stages that you won't soon forget.

A stay in the Grand Est is also an opportunity to sample local specialities, accompanied by a glass of wine* in front of a crackling fire. For a snack, indulge in delicious gingerbread and steaming hot chocolate.
