Ballon d'Alsace (810 - 1247 m)

Opening of the ski season : from 10^th of January 2026 to 14^th of March 2026

Located in the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park, the Ballon d'Alsace is more than just a resort: it is a natural and historic monument. A unique meeting point between the Alsace, Lorraine, and Franche-Comté regions, this peak rising to 1247 meters offers one of the most beautiful panoramas in Eastern France, with breathtaking views of the Black Forest, the Jura, and on clear days, the Alps and Mont Blanc. Classified as a Grand National Site, it is the cradle of tourism in the Vosges, a human-scale destination where wild nature takes precedence over concrete.

A Versatile Domain: Alpine and Nordic Excellence
The Ballon d'Alsace is famous for its versatility. Its alpine area, ideal for families, offers 16 slopes ranging from green to black in a magical wooded setting, secured by a snowmaking network covering 80% of the area. Beginners enjoy dedicated gentle zones, while experienced skiers tackle the Langenberg sector.
But the true treasure of the Ballon is its Nordic Area. Awarded the "Nordic France" label, it offers 46 km of cross-country skiing tracks groomed for both classic and skating styles, winding between ridges and forests, and linked to La Planche des Belles Filles. It is one of the finest sites in the East for cross-country skiing.

Gentle Adventure and Dog Sledding
Here, winter is also enjoyed without skis. The site is a paradise for snowshoeing with 5 marked circuits leading to spectacular viewpoints. For an unforgettable "Great North" experience, the resort offers dog sledding rides through the snow-covered fir trees. With its cozy mountain inns, secure toboggan runs, and preserved atmosphere, the Ballon d'Alsace is the ultimate sanctuary destination to disconnect and recharge.
