Gérardmer, in the Vosges department, in Grand Est, is nicknamed the Pearl of the Vosges because of its large natural lake, the biggest in the Vosges, around which the town developed. Eleven camping establishments are listed in the town, very largely by the lake, with also access to a pond nearby.
People camp here for a mid-mountain setting rare on this portal, between fir forests, the lake and the peaks of the Vosges. Gérardmer is lived in both summer and winter, between swimming and water sports in the warm season, and closeness to ski slopes for much of the year.
It's a destination apart on this portal, more geared towards the mountains and the lake than towards the seaside. Gérardmer appeals to those seeking the fresh air of the Vosges as much as a body of water for summer swimming, in a mid-mountain setting enjoyable in every season.
Lake Gérardmer, the largest natural lake in the Vosges, lends itself to swimming, sailing and fishing, with a lakeside walking and cycling path circling the whole lake. The town comes alive every year around the Fête des Jonquilles, one of the oldest flower festivals in France, and a Christmas market known throughout Grand Est.
Around Gérardmer, the Vosges forest and its peaks, such as the Col de la Schlucht, offer hiking and winter sports terrain enjoyed in both summer and winter. The many marked trails leading out from the lake round out a mid-mountain discovery, halfway between water and the Vosges ridges.
The Saut des Cuves, a nearby waterfall where the Vologne torrent cascades over granite rocks, rounds out this discovery of Vosges nature around Gérardmer. The farm-inns on the heights, reachable on foot, extend the experience with a hearty stop typical of the Vosges massif.
