told by Elise, our local expert<\/em><\/p>

As a long-distance hiking enthusiast, last summer I set myself the challenge of hiking from Lac Blanc<\/strong> to the summit of Grand Ballon<\/strong> in a single day, covering 41km<\/strong>.<\/p>

It’s a very straightforward route, tracing a direct line along the ridge of the Vosges massif<\/strong>, passing through some of the most well-known summits and passes: La Schlucht<\/strong>, Hohneck<\/strong>, Markstein<\/strong>, Hahnenbrunnen<\/strong>, and more.<\/p>

41km in one go<\/strong> \u2014 sounds a bit crazy, right? It\u2019s true that such a distance is no small feat and requires some training. You\u2019re probably thinking it\u2019s not for you. But what if I told you that a shuttle<\/strong> runs parallel to this route every day during the summer? And that every 10km<\/strong>, you can decide whether to continue or stop? Suddenly, this challenge seems more accessible<\/strong>, doesn\u2019t it? This summer, I invite you to take on this same challenge.<\/p>

My adventure along the ridge<\/h3>

I set out early in the morning on a sunny August day. It was around 5:30 a.m.<\/strong> when I began. My first steps were in the dark. As I climbed towards the summit, and after encountering a few chamois<\/strong> and ticking off a few kilometres, I was greeted by a stunning golden light<\/strong> from the Alsace plain. My first reward: witnessing a magnificent summer sunrise<\/strong> from the ridge.<\/p>

As the first rays began to warm up the air, I continued at my own pace, admiring the high-altitude landscapes<\/strong>, passing Vosgienne cattle<\/strong> and farm inns<\/strong> along the way. By the time I reached Hohneck<\/strong>, after already covering 15km<\/strong>, I enjoyed a backpack breakfast, just as I later had my lunch, along with a few snacks for energy. Breaks were kept short, as 41km demands several hours of walking. And of course, I needed to reach my goal before the last shuttle<\/strong> if I wanted to be back in my own bed that night.<\/p>

Finally, around 4 p.m.<\/strong>, I reached the summit of Grand Ballon<\/strong>, where the panorama<\/strong> made all the effort worthwhile!<\/p>

After a well-deserved refreshing drink<\/strong> on a terrace, I hopped on the Navette des Cr\u00eates<\/strong> shuttle to take me back to my starting point. On the way back, I watched the landscape fly by in reverse, exhausted but proud of the ground I\u2019d covered. I was also amused at how quick the return journey seemed compared to the long hike out.<\/p>

By sharing this experience, I hope to inspire you to try this challenge on a beautiful summer day. The goal is to push your limits<\/strong> by covering a long distance in one go, but it\u2019s really all about enjoying the fresh mountain air of the Vosges summits<\/strong> and soaking in the breathtaking views<\/strong>, without worrying about the effort of returning.<\/p>

Don’t forget to check the Navette des Cr\u00eates shuttle schedule<\/strong> (currently unavailable)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
