This loop hike goes through the highest peak in the Vosges: the Grand Ballon (1423 meters). The panorama is of course exceptional, over Alsace, the Black Forest and the Jura. The path takes several passes, and runs along the pretty Lac du Ballon.

I found it an easier trail than expected, beautiful sights specially in autumn with all the colors of the trees, the plains and the foggy weather at times. Easy to do without equipment and there are two restaurants on the way, one just beside the ballon and the other at 15km, so I recommend to take snacks with you.
