The Lodge

Nestled in the Southern Vosges National Park at 968 m altitude, this splendid 160 m² lodge offers privacy and comfort amid completely unspoilt nature. Overlooking the picturesque forest, facing the Grand Ballon — the highest peak in the Vosges (1,424 m) — it accommodates up to 15 guests across vast indoor and outdoor spaces.

Located at the entrance to the Alsace Wine Route, 40 minutes from Colmar and close to the iconic villages of Riquewihr and Kaysersberg, the lodge is an ideal base for exploring Alsace's treasures. In winter, the Christmas markets of Eguisheim, Colmar and Munster are accessible within an hour.

A rare retreat for those seeking authenticity, seclusion and direct contact with grand nature — both summer and winter.

From €330 / night
