Virtues in each and every season
Come and play Tom Sawyer during your holiday in the Vosges! It's about taking the time to live freely by taking care of what really matters: you! Immersed in the heart of a forest where the virtues flow aplenty, get back in touch with nature and hone your senses while experiencing each season to the fullest.
Spring is the ideal season for a relaxing forest bath, a yoga session among the heather and daffodils, a spa treatment with plants from the Vosges Mountains, or birch sap therapy straight from the producer. In short, experiences to awaken your body and put your best foot forward!
In summer, get up early to watch the young chamois frolic through the upper mountain pastures. Recharge your batteries at the foot of a rumbling waterfall with a swim in the inviting, cool water. Set off for an evening of wild camping in the middle of the forest, and rock yourself to sleep in a hammock between two trees. Or spend a unique night in a tree house or a Hobbit hole.
Autumn brings fireworks of colours and the aromas of trees and humus. Your taste buds tingle as mushrooms push up from the ground. The love call of the deer gives you chills. Autumn is also the time for snapping beautiful photos in the soft light of the season, as nature's creatures get ready for the coming cold!
In winter, the joys of snow and winter sports take over: a thrilling dog sledding outing as a couple, a snowshoe hike with friends through frosty landscapes, herbal tea with medicinal plants in front of the fireplace, or a spa session in a luxury hotel in the heart of the forest.
