From its 1272 meters high, the Petit Ballon is certainly one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Vosges massif. Its vast expanse of high stubble and the absence of adjacent summits allow it to dominate the landscape at 360°, and in particular the plain of Alsace to the east with the Black Forest in the background.

The ideal place to admire the sunset, especially since several farm inns are within walking distance to enjoy a delicious marcaire meal and/or spend the night. Less touristy than the large Vosges ridge facing it, the Petit Ballon provides an authentic mountain feeling, with its Tibetan flags, its statue of the Virgin and its Vosges breed cow farms.

Petit Ballon Pass (1,163 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At 1,163 meters above sea level, the Col du Petit Ballon offers magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and inns. The mountain pastures create a magnificent mountain atmosphere, with the animals raised there. A dream setting in a completely authentic Vosges spirit.
