Gateway to the Hautes-Vosges

The estate is ideally located to explore the Vosges massif. Here are our recommendations.

Your digital concierge, throughout your stay

No need to note everything down or search all over: during your stay, we provide a digital tool, accessible from your phone — but also on the cottage’s television and on a tablet. Everything is gathered in one place and kept up to date:

our recommendations and good addresses — restaurants, producers, craftspeople, markets;
the activities, sights and hikes around the estate, with distances, access and durations;
the practical information for the cottage and your stay — amenities, wellness areas, opening times, guidelines, useful contacts;
the events and happenings of the moment in the valley;
the emergency numbers and a one-tap way to reach us for any question.

A real pocket concierge, designed so you can enjoy the Vosges without searching — and discover places you will not find in the guidebooks.
