A lively domain in summer and winter

All-season activities

Our estate is located in an exceptional natural setting: the Wormsa valley, in the heart of the Vosges mountains of Alsace. Here, there’s no shortage of activities to suit all seasons. You can enjoy peaceful strolls along the river, take advantage of the hiking trails accessible from the site, or enjoy family time together thanks to the on-site facilities: petanque court, volleyball, table tennis and children’s playground. These outdoor spaces provide a relaxed, natural atmosphere for everyone.

In summer, the lush green landscapes invite you to explore: mountain biking, mountain walking or exploring the Alsatian slopes offer a complete immersion in nature. Hiking trails leave directly from the estate, making it easy to get away from it all. In winter, the scenery changes: snow covers the valley, transforming the landscape into an ideal playground for seasonal activities such as snowshoeing, tobogganing or simple walks in the snowy forest. Whatever the season, nature remains at the heart of our on-site experiences, and every stay becomes a rejuvenating interlude.

Various activities to suit the mood of the landscape

Activities by season

Each season reveals a different face of the Wormsa Valley. In spring and summer, nature comes back to life, offering a unique spectacle of wild flowers, lush forests and panoramic views of the Vosges peaks. Trails allow you to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike, and proximity to the Alsace wine route opens the door to cultural and gastronomic discoveries. The nearby Route des Crêtes offers spectacular views of mountains and valleys.

In autumn, nature is decked out in flamboyant colors, ideal for quiet strolls and contemplative moments. It’s the ideal season for photographers and lovers of peaceful strolls. In winter, the landscape changes tone: snow-capped peaks, white forests and quiet trails invite you to relax. Winter activities, such as snowshoe trekking, exploring nearby resorts or simply strolling through the snow, offer a special charm at this time of year. This diversity makes it possible to enjoy the area to the full all year round, whether you’re looking for dynamism or peace and quiet.

The right reflexes for a successful stay

Tips for enjoying your activities

To make the most of your stay, remember to adapt your activities to the season and weather conditions. Before each outing, check available itineraries and any closures, especially for the Route des Crêtes in winter. We recommend that you bring suitable footwear, a change of clothes, water and a small hiking kit. At reception, you’ll find practical information, trail maps and advice on equipment available for hire, such as mountain bikes and snowshoes.

As mountain weather can change rapidly, it’s important to prepare each outing carefully and to be aware of local recommendations. To balance your stay, alternate between dynamic activities and moments of relaxation in the different areas of the resort. After a day in the great outdoors, take advantage of the calm of the site, the indoor pool or the spa to relax. This alternation between effort and rest will enable you to enjoy a complete holiday, combining nature, comfort and well-being, in the unique setting of the Wormsa Valley.
