Hiking

If you do not like to go for long hikes, you have the opportunity to walk from the car park and enjoy the wonderful view from the top. The "climb" is also not very difficult, so you should avoid coming at the weekend, as it is then very crowded.

Hiking

The Notre Dame du Ballon statue is located at the top of the Ballon d'Alsace. Joseph Grisward, the farm's tenant, built it on a vow when he was rescued from a heavy snowstorm in 1860. More: statues.vanderkrogt.net/object.php?webpage=ST&record=fral076

Hiking

The Balloon of Alsace is located south of the Vosges mountain range and peaks at an altitude of 1,247 meters. Very clear, it offers a 360-degree panorama of the Jura chain, the Black Forest, the Belfort gap, or even Mont Blanc on a clear day.

The Alsace balloon marks one of the ends of the ridge line which separates the valleys of Doller in Alsace and Haute-Moselle in Lorraine.
