A fantastic trail-running route from Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle, perfect for discovering and climbing the legendary Ballon d'Alsace. The climb is demanding but highly enjoyable, alternating between shady forest sections and open stretches offering superb panoramic views. Once at the summit, the view stretches from the Alsatian plains to Mont Blanc on a clear day. The descent takes the same route before joining wide forest tracks heading towards Goutte du Rieux. A final effort on a fine track before heading back down to Saint-Maurice, the starting point for this loop. An excellent route for an outing with a difference in altitude, while discovering the exceptional scenery of the Ballons des Hautes-Vosges.
