Camping du Lac de la Moselotte

If you ever leave the lake and its leisure centre, other active days out in the area are the hikes and walks around La Bresse and Ventron, both 15 kilometres away, and Remiremont within 20 kilometres. The nearby ridge road has spectacular views of the surrounding area in summer if you want to have a picworthy stroll. About 15 kilometres from local town Saulxures-sur-Moselotte is the mighty mountain of the Ballon d'Alsace, at the corners of the regions of Alsace, Lorraine and Franche-Comté.  Alpine and cross-country skiing tracks are both available here; for views, the Vosges and Alps mountain ranges can be seen from the mountain's top, along with Germany's Rhine Valley and Black Forest. Colmar about 50 kilometres away is a good and scenic option if you want to see old Alsace: start off at its Old Town and handsome houses lined up along the river, then wander around the tall houses of la Rue de Tanneurs, and potter along to the fishermen's quay and the thirteenth-century Dominican convent. An adventure park, bungee jumping, paragliding and fly fishing are all nearby.
