Hiking

Linking the Route des Crêtes to the ridge leading to the Petit Ballon, this pass and its meadow offer appreciable calm, a little below the most emblematic peaks of the Vosges. It provides access to Lac de la Lauch after one kilometer of descent.

Hiking

Between December 1st and June 30th, the section of the GR532 connecting the Oberlauchen pass to the Lauchen pass via the Klintzkopf is prohibited. This is indeed an area where very fragile fauna, such as the capercaillie, has established itself. Controls are regularly carried out and the fine is steep. Therefore, prefer the forest road that also leads to the Lauchen pass!
