Description
Emplacement au parking du Grand Ballon. Il y a quelques endroits à l'avant de la rue, mais les plus beaux sont plus en retrait. Osez conduire le chemin d'herbe, ça vaut le coup. Il y a de la place pour 4 à 5 mobiles. Vous avez une vue magnifique ! Des croissants frais et des baguettes, des produits à base de miel sont disponibles dans le café/boutique. Il faut environ 15 minutes à pied pour atteindre le sommet, ce qui est également faisable avec des enfants.
The Camper’s take
Free parking at the foot of Grand Ballon with grassy spots set back from the road, offering panoramic views of the Vosges mountains. On-site honey house café provides fresh pastries, regional products, water and toilets (opening hours dependent). Easy 15-minute trail to the summit suitable for families. Highly popular, especially at sunset. Quiet nights once day visitors leave. Limited capacity (4-5 vans in secluded spots).
