Discovered by chance on a hike at Le Tanet. Since then, we have been there several times for a few days and also just for dinner when we were in the area with the camper van. The rooms are very clean and the sanitary facilities (floor showers/toilets) are all new. The food is also extremely good and plentiful, even with the half-board menu it is always very good. Very good starting point for hikes towards Le Tanet / Lac Vert / Lac Noir or the other direction Col de la Schlucht / Le Hohneck. Also a good base for MTB (VTT) tours. It can be reached via a paved path. - with a racing bike you have to climb a few more meters at the end, but that's why you are driving to the area ;-). Although we unfortunately don't speak French, we have never had any problems there, the owners and staff are very helpful.

The pain of the climb is not in vain. It is absolutely worth it. Partly rideable with the EMTB. But not always
