Great trail

Length

Duration

6h30min

Elev gain

This last day of walking is in a way a mirror of the first. What you have climbed, you will now descend.

Shortly after leaving the Petit Ballon, the trail leaves the open peaks and returns to the forest, passing through the Col de Boenlesgrab then Bannstein.

Over the last kilometres, the path overlooks Buhl and Guebwiller, crossing some vines on steep slopes. And you're back to where you started!

Dernière partie du trek du Grand Ballon. Avec la fatigue accumulée, celle-ci est loin d’être facile. L’essentiel se fait en descente mais il reste encore du dénivelé positif, jusqu’aux derniers mètres. La vue sur la vallée, les vignes, et le Grand Ballon s’éloignant est vraiment plaisante. Conseil : pensez à vous ravitailler en eau aux rares auberges situés après le sommet du Petit Ballon car il n’y aucun point d’eau sur cette partie.
