This 1.2-sq-km glacial lake offers fishing, swimming & boating, plus winter ice skating.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful lake where you can swim and do camping, a beautiful village with a lot of hotels , restaurants and shops located in les Vosges .
Scenic spot, perfect for strolling around, boating or just enjoying nature.
Located in Gerardmer, this beautiful quiet glacial lake offers stunning views over Vosges mountains🏞🌄. It is located at 660 meters altitude and has a maximum depth of 38 meters and a mean depth of 17m. It's waters are cristal clear, and they are the home of many fish species like carp, roach fish, pike and trout🐟. You have the opportunity to walk/hike around the lake or to rent boats (there are 3 or 4 boat providers and 2 that offer lake tour with bigger boats), to eat icecream or have dinner or lunch on the shores of this lake. Although it is surrounded by mountains and it seems like a place where no water sports can be practiced, it has on it's shores a sports center where teens and children learn different water sports🚣🏄‍♀️. It also has on it's shores an aquatic center with a natural pool and a beach🏖. Visiting in May this wonderful city and region, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by this beautiful lake. I can't wait to come back do do the lake tour by foot🚶‍♀️, and to hike on the peak of one of the mountains to see the lake view🏞 that i have heard about..
Small but nice lake, enough to spend couple of days of vacation here. Can rent the pedal boat to have a short look around (1 hour 16€). Or just walk on it's perimeter, won't take longer than few hours. Camp is there too, also you can find a casino and cozy tables with benches for a picnic. The lake itself is quite clean, allowed to fish and swim.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Nearby is a nice playground that is suitable not only for big kids but also for toddlers.
Great lake with nice walks and activities
Clean and blue waters, nice kid friendly hike by the lake. It can get a bit crowded over weekend but a nice getaway for a day or two.

One of the most beautiful and unique gardens you can visit! Very impressive landscape, plantings and atmosphere. July is definetly a great time to be there.
Must see if you like gardens. We never saw the same thing twice and were easily there a couple of hours, well wife likes gardens but i enjoyed it too! There's a vast variety of garden and pond areas to view and photograph. On arrival you will be encouraged to walk barefoot, so TAKE YOUR SANDELS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE THEM OFF. The grass areas were perfectly manicured and felt like carpet. It's really well looked after, but not cheap. We paid £10.00 per adult (Aug 2018).
Beautiful very well maintained garden! Must visit. The pathways are made of perfectly cut grass, on which you can walk bare-foot. Many different garden styles, including a maze! We spent hours here. The owner is happy to explain a thing or two about gardening, he speaks English. This place is not wheelchair or baby-stroller friendly. Use a baby-carrier instead.
Amazingly beautiful and well-kept garden, with a varied and dense design, situated in a beautiful landscape. Visit early in the morning and you can have the place to yourself.
Beautiful gardens. On entrance we were told we couldn't leave the bikes in the grounds and we couldn't have a picnic in the grounds (not that we'd intended to) We pay €90 a year for kew Gardens in London(300 acres) anytime secure space for bikes inside and we can have a picnic. The price here is too high for what you get. I've added photos of lack of bike parking and some lovely places that are perfect for a picnic even though you can't have one :)
A must see when visiting this region! I was amazed how beautiful this garden is!
Very nice place with so many flowers. Good plane to relax and discuss.
Absolutely lovely.

Small, scenic waterfall at with a watchtower accessed via a rugged forest hike.
Slide 1 of 8
Modest but beautiful waterfall. The route up or down can be a challenge for young children or people with decreased mobility, but is absolutely gorgeous, meandering over mossy trails and following the rocky stream. We visited in the cold/wet season (january) which made it a challenge at points (at least wear water proof shoes) but I reckon it's nothing short of amazing in summer/spring!
Been here combine with the other 2 waterfalls, this one is a steep hike up over rocks, just follow the path. Waterfall isn't as beautifull as cascade tendon but the walk up is nice. It's also possible to combine it with the viewpoint Mérelle I believe..
Very cozy place. The water spills over the rock and forms 3 waterfalls. Was real fun Waking up there. Great Location for a rest or even a picnic (no table there)
Very beautiful place. It's not the easiest path, so good shoes are recommended!
It is a small walk from the parking place (10 mintes) or a moderate clime or decent from the lake (166 meters). The waterfall in August is a big joke. When you make a picture under a right angle it looks like a waterfall. But when you come closer you see it is a small stream only 3 meters height... So be prepared. The observation tower is on the other hand very nice, especially during sunny weather you have a spectacular view over the lake. So the cascade is nice to do as combination with the tower. But I would not recommend to go to the waterfall as only destination.
It was a long walk in the winter but a lovely place to see.
It's very nice, but be on the safe side and get hiking shoes for the trip
Did not get there. Ggle routing ends at private road ad at that point no way to find a parking to walk on, so we had to skip the vennue

(Translated by Google) Nice little waterfall in the middle of the forest. Very impressive, especially with increased amounts of water. The waterfall is easy to reach as it only takes a short walk from the parking lot. Be careful when visiting with small children: many sections of the path lead steeply down to the river without safety. (Original) Netter kleiner Wasserfall mitten im Wald. Gerade mit erhöhter Wassermenge sehr beeindruckend. Der Wasserfall ist leicht zu erreichen, da vom Parkplatz nur ein kurzer Spaziergang erforderlich ist. Vorsicht beim Besuch mit kleineren Kindern: viele Abschnitte am Weg geht es ungesichert steil hinab zum Fluss.
Nice little trail along a stream with pretty waterfall. We spent 30 min there. Good for a stop along the way or for a Picknick.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful but challenging hiking trail along the Vologne River. The trail is varied but not suitable for people with disabilities or strollers. The trail leads to the Pont des Fe'es. (Original) Schöner, aber anspruchsvoller Wanderweg am Vologne Verlauf. Der Wanderweg ist abwechslungsreich, aber für Leute mit Behinderung, oder Kinderwagen nicht geeignet. Der Wanderweg führt zum Pont des Fe'es.

Possibility of going to the rock of the page Easy to access (Original) Plusieurs petits sentiers bien indiqué Jolie cascade plusieurs petits pont Sentier des perles et pont des fées juste en face. Possibilité d'aller jusqu'au rocher du page Facile d'accès
(Translated by Google) A nice little hike, not too difficult, but with good shoes (lots of rocks and roots). You go through the forest via small bridges and wooden footbridges. It's quick, but worth doing. (Original) Petite randonnée sympathique sans difficulté mais avec de bonnes chaussures quand même (beaucoup de pierres et de racines). On passe dans la forêt par des petits ponts et des passerelles en bois. C’est rapide mais à faire.
(Translated by Google) Small waterfalls, easy and free parking. (Original) Petites chutes d'eau, stationnement facile et gratuit.
(Translated by Google) Freshness, path along the water, a few feet in the water, wooden and stone bridges here and there... A top place, for all that a visit to the waterways and the Cascades... And as a photographer a calm place, and full of inspiration.... (Original) Fraîcheur, chemin le long de l'eau, un peu de pieds dans l'eau, des ponts en bois et en pierre par ci par là...

I really enjoyed the tree climbing park. The instructions and routes progressively increased in difficulty, allowing the kids to challenge and develop their skills. The '3-hour' time limit was flexible, and on a Monday during summer holidays, we didn't have to wait at all.
Great experience for my four year old! Our instructor was very helpful and cheerful, and we appreciated that he could accommodate speaking in English to us. It’s a beautiful course and a good challenge for his age level.
Great fun for our children, a few tracks (please note even the smallest one is quite demanding for 4-5 year old and the third is not easy for teens). Surrounded by nature, rocks and a lake.
Went to acro-sphere today with 3 kids (7, 9 and 11) without a reservation and did the 6 green courses. The reception was very professional and very smooth and we were in our climbing gear in no time. After a short tutorial we were allowed to climb the 6 routes. Some were a bit more challenging than others, but every trail was doable. Remember to go to the toilet beforehand. Toilets were clean, the snacks afterwards were fine and there were many staff members. All in all the best climbing experience we had so far.
Our family loved it here. Really great adventure for the children. We did the Discovery trail which was enough for us and at the right level. The staff was very friendly and explained how to do it all in English. The whole thing lasted several hours. Beautiful scenery. We also did the barefoot walk which was a fun walk up the side of the hill for a full km. Through water, over stones, over mud... Lots of laughs and dirty feet by the end! Thankfully they had brushes and foot showers! A great afternoon out!
Such great fun! We loved the experience.
Our two children loved it. They did this in Wavre so had some experience of this. Would love to have done the black version but with the children. Food was ok - nothing to shout about as it’s not the reason for being there. Friendly staff.
What a terrific experience! The parkours in the trees are well-known and can be found in a lot of places around the world. While the parkours trough the rocks are very special, very excited and some very hard to do! I would definitely recommend everybody who enjoys climbing to come and try those parkours, they are remarkable.

Good place to go for a ski with the family. Just make sure you arrive early in the morning if you want to find a parking place. Good restaurant at the base
Very good place for family skiing. You will meet a lot of kids and beginners. There is a very good choice of slopes of all difficulties. I think the place is priced well, only €28 per day. There are several places to get food and drinks. This is a small resort with shorter slopes. It is fun for a weekend skiing. The place does lack a bit of a mountain character to it. There is plenty of free parking but if you come late you will park far.
Great beginner ski resort. Multiple bunny hills and many, many green runs. Family loved it.
Very good place to learn to ski for all ages.
Great mountain for family skiing. Slopes are great for easy to intermediate...didn't try the difficult slopes or ski park, but my friends say they are great as well. The restaurant on the mountain has great food and drinks available as well. Make sure you go right at opening time or you will wait in line a LONG time.
Great family place for learning to ski. Nice piste for experienced skiers, but not too long. Nice views. A great restaurant in the slopes. A good compromise for family ski in the northeast of France.
Terrible staff: French politeness... The operator of the lift "O" saw us 20 meters away from him and closed the lift 1 minute before the end, made us walk back 10 minutes with the skis. The cheap price of the ski pass doesn't justify bad service received, in general (not only the bad experience), we won't go back.
Good ski resort to spend a day. Infrastructure outdated with a lot of télé-ski lifts which are challenging for beginners and snowboarders. The chairlifts have long queues during weekends. Slopes are well-maintained and are nicely flowing through the woods.

Good service, and for the climbers among us. They sell the climbing book Vosges du Sud for this region.
The staff is helpful and kind. Additionally, they sell beautiful vintage poster style postcards here in a very reasonable price.
Extremely helpful and friendly service. They guided us to an excellent restaurant where we enjoyed an unforgettable lunch.
6€ for a leaflet with a few walks was a bit steep.
Quite a busy hill stop for many coming all over over Europe.. lovely hill station for a relaxing weekend.

When you wanna take a stroll around the lake in winter or summer this is a nice spot to do it.
Good food and a decent house beer. Shame about the service. Our waiter didn't try to speak English even though he could clearly understand. We managed to place an order in French but it could have been a lot easier. I would recommend the restaurant I don't know if I would visit again though.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty little farm, lots of medicinal plants outside as well as signs telling us the names of the plants, lots of essential oil products, soap and we are shown and explained how the oils are produced with the machine etc. . I recommend! Be careful there are sometimes people, see whole buses coming there, it's not very big. (Original) Très jolie petite ferme, beaucoup de plantes médicinales en extérieur ainsi que des pancartes nous indiquant les noms des plantes, beaucoup de produits d’huile essentielle, du savon et on nous montre et nous explique la façon dont on produit les huiles avec la machine etc. Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) A place where one finds happiness has its evils without unnecessary additives. The manager is very pleasant and answers your questions. Very reasonable price level given the organic designation. Which is unfortunately not always the case... I highly recommend a short visit. For my part, arnican soap is great. The drinks in treatment are great! And clay masks are effective. Great discovery. (Original) Lieu où l'on trouve son bonheur a ses maux sans additif inutile. La gérante est très agréable et répond à vos questions. Niveau tarifs très correct compte tenu de l'appellation BIO. Ce qui n'est pas tjs le cas hélas... Je conseil fortement une petite visite. Pour ma part le savon arnican est top. Les boissons en cure sont super! Et les masques argiles sont efficaces. Belle découverte.
(Translated by Google) Very friendly little shop, lots of choice, access to the garden with all kinds of plants and herbs. Soap that smells incredibly good, spices, essential oils, jam… The only downside is that dogs are not allowed in the place.

Savon qui sentent incroyablement bon, épices, huiles essentielles, confiture… Seule bémol l’endroit est interdit au chien.

La Ferme du bienêtre distills its own essential oils with which they make many different products that they offer for sale. In the small shop, you can find plenty of herbal teas, an assortment of herbs, essential oils, cosmetic products and small gift boxes. Depending on the season, you can also find plants to transplant there. In addition, you will be able to benefit from the knowledge and advice of the owners on the virtues of different plants and products. A really great place.

(Translated by Google) Here you can get plants, herbs/tea and unusual extracted essences which are also offered in solutions, syrups, oils and soaps.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful end to the wonderful hike through the Ruisseau du Phény. Fortunately, we were rewarded with a reasonable amount of water at the end of May, as I've read in several reviews, because that can sometimes be disappointing. It's a bit of a shame that it's so close by car, which can make it a bit crowded on a nice day during a long weekend. But for those with limited mobility and families with children, that's certainly a plus. (Original) Mooi eindpunt van de prachtige wandeling door de Ruisseau du Phény. Gelukkig werden we eind mei beloond met een redelijke hoeveelheid water, want dat kan wel eens tegenvallen, lees ik in verschillende reviews. Beetje jammer dat je er met de auto vlakbij kunt komen, waardoor het hier wat druk kan zijn op een mooie dag in een lang weekend. Maar voor mensen die wat minder goed ter been zijn en voor gezinnen met kinderen is dat natuurlijk een voordeel.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful waterfall with a drop in altitude. Accessible via the motocross parking lot. Probably 1 hour round trip between adults and older children. More laborious, although fun, with a 3 year old. For the more courageous, start from the lakeside campsite parking lot, and you will follow a few more small streams. (Original) Belle cascade tout en dénivelé. Accessible via le parking du motocross. Sans doute 1h aller-retour entre adultes et grands enfants. Plus laborieux, même si amusant, avec un petit de 3 ans.

Swimming pool

Slide 1 of 8
Good, clean and practical swimming pool, 5 lanes in the 25 meter bassin. Not too busy when I went, so space enough to do your training!
Beautiful pool and wellbeing centre. It was a great place to come with our 8 month old baby, as there was a baby pool and excellent baby-bath and changing facilities next to the showers. I also returned to use the wellbeing centre upstairs, which has a beautiful outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a sauna, steam room, and plunge pool. It's all kept super clean. The only thing to note is that you have to wear a cap and swimming shorts aren't allowed.
Relatively expensive for limited amenities.
(Translated by Google) Great swimming pool for children (and older ones)! The paddling pool is at a good temperature and the changing rooms are quite practical with areas dedicated to families. There are even bathtubs to rinse off the little ones. Very clean swimming pool, I recommend it (Original) Super piscine pour les enfants (et les plus grands) ! La pataugeoire est à bonne température et les vestiaires sont assez pratique avec des espaces dédiés aux familles. Il y’a même des baignoires pour rincer les plus petits. Piscine très propre je la recommande
(Translated by Google) Bad experience. Arrival with my grandchildren 2 and 3 years old at 11:30 a.m. First remark at reception be careful closing at 1 p.m. OK, no problem. Second remark compulsory hat for everyone. Ok let's buy. Arrival in the aquatic complex, Mrs swimming shorts are prohibited for you. Ok or can I get some... At the vending machine...but your grandchildren are also prohibited from wearing shorts... Race results we left. Of course €19 not refunded without taking advantage of it. Disappointed children 😞 I'll let you form your opinion. Great vacation in Gerardmer (Original) Mauvaise expérience. Arrivée avec mes petits enfants 2 et 3 ans à 11h30 . Première remarque à l’accueil attention fermeture à 13h. Ok pas de problème. Deuxième remarque bonnet obligatoire pour tous le monde. Ok on achète. Arrivée dans le complexe aquatique, Mrs short de bain interdit pour vous. Ok ou je peux m ́en procurer... Au distributeur automatique...mais vos petits enfants ont des shorts aussi interdit... Résultats des courses nous sommes partis. Bien sûr 19€ non remboursé sans en profiter. Enfants déçu 😞 Je vous laisse faire votre opinion. Super les vacances à Gerardmer
(Translated by Google) At the top! Clean swimming pool, suitable for adults and children (slide, fun pool, area with jets and counter current) Lots of facilities available: baby bath, child seat in the cabin so you can get dressed in peace... Water is 29 degrees and 30.5 for the fun pool, the showers are hot. Really awesome!! A moment of relaxation after skiing, very enjoyable! (Original) Au top ! Piscine propre, adapté aux grands comme aux petits(toboggan, bassin ludique, espace avec jets et contre courant) Pleins de facilité à disposition : baignoire pour bébé, siège pour enfant dans les cabine pour pouvoir s habiller tranquille... Eau est à 29 degrés et 30,5 pour le bassin ludique, les douches sont chaudes. Vraiment génial !! Un moment de détente après le ski, très appréciable !

(Original) Super moment en famille à pris raisonnable, adapté à tous les âges, piscine propre et bien entretenu. Très bonnes températures des différents bassins. Je recommande.
(Translated by Google) Everything was clean but totally cold.

Lovely church to walk around - free to enter.
Nice church, in the city center. The style is simple, and yet involving.
Popped in here for a Sunday morning service. Great for my French! Surprised by the number of people, I think 400 + but it gave a great feel to the whole service. Lots of singijng and a sense of God's presence. The priest was genuinely spiritual and gave a good homily on storing up treasures in heaven versus earthly materialism. The mass was fulfilling. Lovely atmosphere, especially when he called a couple celebrating 50 years of marriage up to receive a special blessing. If ever I am back in the town, I will return. God bless you all!
(Translated by Google) This is a very large church, which was rebuilt after an accidental fire in 1940, as indicated by the sign on the square. When you enter, what catches your eye is the choir, which looks modern with its surrounding lights, illuminating what is located nearby. (Original) Eglise qui est très large, il s'agit d'une reconstruction suite à un incendie accidentel en 1940 comme l'indique le panneau sur la place. Quand on rentre ce qui attire le regard c'est le choeur qui fait moderne avec ses lumières qui l'entourent et qui éclaire ce qu'il y a situé de manière proche.
(Translated by Google) I love visiting all kinds of historical monuments. The church in Gérardmer is absolutely magnificent, both inside and out. It bears its own history. Partially destroyed during the last war, it was rebuilt by local residents, various trades, using local stone. I highly recommend visiting it (free), as it remains a strong symbol of Gérardmer. (Original) J’adore visiter toute sorte de monuments historiques. L’église de Gérardmer et absolument magnifique, tant à l’extérieur qu’à l’intérieur. Elle porte son histoire. Détruit en partie durant la dernière guerre, elle a été reconstruite par les habitants, différents corps de métiers, avec des pierres de la région. Je recommande vivement sa visite (gratuite), elle reste un symbole fort de Gérardmer.

Kids friendly. Easy parking. Plenty of beach benches. No umbrellas to hire though. 6.5€ a person.
Very well organised, nice slide and safe small beaches and swimming for the kids. Free changing, loos and lockers. All good.
This restaurant was so bad, there was no reason to not write a review. Waited 1 hour for 3 overpriced tosti’s of 11 euros that tasted awful, even though there where 10 waiters, we had to ask them ourself for the food and to order.
We just wanted to check out the place (before ordering ice cream) but staff was super unfriendly and didn’t even allow us to take a look. We will have an ice cream somewhere else.
Food and drinks are a bit overpriced. Prices for entree are alright for what you get.
Nice plan for kids, a supervised slide and a nice small beach to enjoy the lake.
A fun beach and supervised swim area on the edge of lake Gerardmer. Quite busy on a hot August day, but the kids loved it, and the lake view is superb.
Friendly service. But 8 euros for two very basic lemonades is a bit of a joke.
