Trail route n°1 - La Chapelle des Vés

Length of the route: 9.44 km – Elevation gain: 470 m – Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes – Markings: Trail sign + Club Vosgien sign – Level: easy.

Start: Church car park.

The route is expected to be marked in June. Until then, you can use the GPX tracks to follow the route.

This route begins with a magnificent first climb through the woods above Le Thillot. After a few beautiful switchbacks in the forest, the pond and hut at Chaillon offer a welcome break before continuing on to the highlight of the day: the Pic des Corbeaux with its magnificent panorama.

The climb continues to Draimont, which leads to the Chapelle des Vés, before a gentle descent allows you to lengthen your stride.

One last effort below the summit, then it's back to Le Thillot to finish this short but challenging outing.
