Tourisme
Gérardmer (Vosges, France)
Gérardmer is a lakeside and mountain resort located in the heart of the Vosges, valued for its lake, forests and seasonal activities. The town offers a lively lakeside in summer and ski areas accessible in winter. It has a family-friendly atmosphere focused on nature and outdoor sports. The site also serves as a gateway to the Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges.
Nature and landscapes
The Lac de Gérardmer dominates the scenery: wooded shores, walks and viewpoints offer easily accessible panoramas. Around it, the rounded Vosges massifs feature beech and spruce forests, peat bogs and lookout points that change with the seasons. In autumn, the colors are particularly striking.
Outdoor activities and leisure
The La Mauselaine resort provides alpine skiing and nearby cross-country ski routes. Summer favors light sailing, paddleboarding and swimming on the lake. Many waymarked trails are suitable for hiking, mountain biking and guided nature outings. Photography and birdwatching enthusiasts find varied subjects here.
Culture and events
Gérardmer hosts the Festival international du film fantastique de Gérardmer, an annual benchmark event since the 1990s. The town also retains traces of its development linked to the textile industry and local craftsmen. Small exhibitions and events punctuate the tourist season.
Gastronomy
Local cuisine highlights products from the Vosges: cheeses (including Munster), artisanal charcuterie and mountain fruit desserts, such as tarte aux myrtilles, often found in the town's bakeries and pastry shops.
