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.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
