Lac de Gérardmer, Grand Est, France

4.5 (1.686 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #2 in Grand Est Bodies of Water

Boating, walking, great views, loop walk or bike ride - what more could you want? Also great and cooler in summer!

Beautiful lake up in the Vosges even on a grey-ish day! Has an amazing long walk around the whole lake which apparently takes 3.5hrs (I suspect it might be a lot less for someone fit and without kids or a wheelchair or health issues). We did a full loop in the car and stopped on the far side of the lake at one of the parking viewpoints near all the campsites. Gorgeous Vosges scenery !

Beautiful nature
I joined a trail running event starting and finishing at the lake shore. The trail was indeed nice, running and walking through the fantastic forest. After the effort, I relaxed for a while, not just to recover, but also to admire such a beautiful landscape on such a warm, sunny day. Kayaking and SUP services are offered. Restaurants and a parking area are available, as well as toilettes.

Lovely lake for summer break
Buy place with lots going on. Can enjoy a swim in the lake, or enjoy a variety of water based activities/boat rentals. About 1.5 hours to walk around the lake - one side wild, the other along the footpath following the road.
