Tips from the Community

Willem VS
October 8, 2026, Ascension du ballon d'Alsace depuis Sewen

Of the three sides of the Ballon d'Alsace, this is clearly the most difficult (the only one with gradients of 9-10%)... but it is certainly the most beautiful! The hairpin bends at the start of the climb before the Alfeld lake are sublime. The road then evolves along the mountainside, unfortunately no more hairpin bends, this section can seem long for some, the gradient remains between 8 and 9%. It decreases when you reach the Langenberg... you have done the difficult part, there are still 4 km to the top. After that, there is a mix of flat sections and climbs with a natural clearing 1 km from the top, from where you have a panoramic view of the valley.

Dit monument herinnert aan de aanleg van het stuwmeer van Alfeld in 1888. Het markeert een belangrijk hoofdstuk in de waterbeheersing van de Dollervallei en vormt een opvallend historisch herkenningspunt langs de route.

The Doller-fietspad (Voie Verte de la Vallée de la Doller) between Masevaux and Sewen largely follows a former railway line through the Doller valley in the southern Vosges. The route is approximately 10 to 12 km long, almost entirely car-free and asphalted. The gradient towards Sewen is very gradual, around 1%, making it a pleasant approach to the surroundings of the Ballon d'Alsace.

The Graber discovery trail starts from the center of Dolleren, which is lulled by the sound of the river that gave the village its name, the Doller. Before setting off, you can go to the town hall or the tourist office in Masevaux to pick up a booklet for children. Playful equipment can also be found along the route.

The Baerenkopf is a well-known summit in the Masevaux valley. Located on the wooded ridge around 1,000 meters that borders the Territoire de Belfort and Haut-Rhin, it nevertheless reveals a beautiful view of the valley, especially in the months when the vegetation is sparser. A refuge is located right next to it, in a slightly more open landscape.
