Lac de Gérardmer sous la neige

It is amazing, welcoming, wild, and... magical! When the festive season comes around, the Massif des Vosges is surrounded by a magnificent aura. It promises an unforgettable Christmas in the mountains that will be everything you could possibly wish for. All you have to do is ask!

Choose the Massif des Vosges to... experience its traditional Christmas

Vosges’ winter decor looks like it came straight out of a Christmas film. It’s easy to understand why so many families come here in December! Recreate the magic of Christmas with your loved ones by doing activities that will make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale, including dog sledding and wild luge rides in the powdery snow.

You’ll love spending time together in this enchanting mountain setting when the towns and villages are enveloped in a welcoming, traditional atmosphere. Enter the wonderful world of Christmas markets in Plombières-les-Bains or Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, and don’t forget to visit Father Christmas in Gérardmer!

Choose the Massif des Vosges to... admire its magical scenery

Looking for panoramic views worthy of the Far North but much closer to home? With its large lakes, frozen peatlands, vast pine trees and rounded snow-capped peaks, the Massif des Vosges has an air of Lapland about it. The two regional nature parks and twenty mountain resorts will have you in raptures over their breathtaking winter scenery. Enjoy this immersive experience with friends or by yourself during a well-deserved break.

You won’t be able to resist skiing in wild nature under the stars, at sunrise or by torchlight. Contemplate the unusual beauty of the Temple du Donon covered in shimmering frost, meet chamois at the summit of the Hohneck and admire the reflection of the moon on the peaks while a fire crackles in the hearth of your chalet.
