Need a breath of fresh air? How about spending your next winter holiday in Gérardmer?
Located in the heart of the Vosges (88), this small town of 7,800 inhabitants is a prime spot to enjoy the pleasures of winter: snowshoe hikes through fir forests, speeding downhill on alpine skis, or taking it slow on the cross-country ski trails — all mountain activities are on offer in this resort of the Hautes-Vosges. The little ones will enjoy the safe sledding slopes, while the more adventurous can experience dog sled rides across the high pastures or through the coniferous forests.
At 675 meters altitude, in the heart of the Vosges massif, nature lovers and thrill seekers alike will find their happiness here:
- Alpine skiing,
- Snowboarding,
- Cross-country skiing,
- Snowshoeing,
- Sledding…
The La Mauselaine ski resort offers 21 alpine ski slopes for all levels. Among them, the longest slope in the Vosges awaits you (4 km).
This family-friendly resort features a safe sledding area, a snowpark, and an ESF ski school.
Gérardmer is certified “Famille Plus Montagne,” guaranteeing a successful family holiday!
For snowshoeing and cross-country skiing enthusiasts, the Bas-Rupts and Hautes-Vannes Nordic areas will delight you. Whatever your level of fitness, you’ll savor the silence of the many groomed trails winding through fir forests and peat bogs.
In the evening, after a sporty or peaceful day and a good dose of fresh air, gather around a glass of Glühwein or hot apple juice at the Christmas Market (see our article), which becomes the Skiers’ Market in February, and enjoy some potato fritters called “râpés.” Be careful not to burn yourself!

Why Choose Les Loges du Parc in Winter?
Located right next to the shuttle serving the La Mauselaine slopes and the Bas Rupts cross-country ski area, Hotel Les Loges du Parc offers 38 rooms and suites, some with views of the lake.
After a long day out in the cold, what could be more delightful than soaking in a wonderfully foamy whirlpool bath? We’ve got just what you need: Junior Suites, Loups Rooms, the Goupil Triple Room equipped for guests with reduced mobility, and the Renard Triple Room.
Do you prefer the dry heat of a sauna, in total privacy? No problem — the Ours Suites will be perfect for you. Step into the realm of the brown bear in Kodiak, the ice floes in Nanuq, or cozy English charm in Teddy. Or try all three atmospheres during a longer stay!
The Chalet Rooms, with their typically mountain-inspired décor, make a perfect base for exploring the region.
Large families will love our La Datcha duplexes. Fully equipped and beautifully decorated, these two accommodations can host 4 and 5 people.
On the ground floor, the lounge with its mountain-style décor and fireplace will warm both the body and the heart of even the chilliest guests. With its varied library and comfortable armchairs, it’s the perfect relaxation space after a day of skiing. A delicious pastry, a hot drink, a good book. What else? Perhaps a purr from Saga or Justin!
Everything is arranged for your gear: a secure ski storage room, and a heated room for your wet clothes and shoes. Head out with warm boots on your feet and reach the resort in just a few minutes thanks to the free shuttle that stops in front of the hotel every 20 minutes.
