Ô P'tit Nid Milie

For any of you who like to spend the majority of your time outdoors, you should be pleased to hear that Ô P’tit Nid Milie is half an hour’s drive from the lake in Saulxures-sur-Moselotte (half an hour’s drive). At Base De Loisirs Du Lac De La Moselotte (half an hour), get stuck into watersports or get a medal of bravery for trying the inflatable obstacle course or large slides. That’s not the only lake you should add to your itinerary, though. Lac de Gérardmer (35 minutes) is a glacial lake 660 metres high in the mountains, next to the town of Gérardmer. Gérardmer has a ski resort and a slalom course for winter activities, and for summer, there's a handful of hiking and cycling routes (including a path to the observatory overlooking the lake and town). For more slopes, look towards the 10 kilometres of skiing and snowboarding runs at Ventron (35 minutes) or the larger ski resort in La Bresse (35 minutes). La Bresse also has an alpine rollercoaster, a good chance if you didn't get that first medal of bravery.
