The Vosges Mountains are a paramount destination in the landscape of Eastern France. Unlike the Alps and the Pyrenees, the Vosges Mountains are synonymous with softness thanks to the rounded shape of their peaks, the `ballons` (rounded summits). This mountainous mass offers a variety of landscapes, including glacial lakes, wet and high altitude meadows, deep valleys, waterfalls, cliffs and rocks. In addition to the superb views, this is also an adventure sports center and an idyllic world of lakes and thatched houses. The Vosges Mountains serve superb food in a reinvigorating environment, which helps to make it one of the most refreshing destinations in France.
