Col de la Schlucht

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Schlucht is one of the most famous passes in the Vosges Mountains and lies at an altitude of 1,139 meters above sea level. In winter, it's a popular winter sports center with ski lifts. In summer, it's a great destination for day trips and a starting point for hikes. There's a summer toboggan run right next to the pass, as well as a restaurant/brasserie with a terrace. Parking is plentiful, though it can get tight in winter.

Krappenfels

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the southern end or at the beginning (depending on the walking direction) of the straw Meier path / Sentier des Roches lies the Krappenfels.
If you want to go the Sentier des Roches in both directions, you can descend via Trois Fois to the Krappenfels and make the path in the opposite direction.

August 15, 2025,Vom Col de la Schlucht über den Felsenweg

A short but beautiful hike. The rocky path is challenging, but there are enough safety devices to hold on to.
We caught a few drops of rain from a small, unannounced thunderstorm.

June 24, 2025,Wanderweg Les Roches – Krappenfels Runde von Le Valtin

A very beautiful tour with magnificent views. You should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. Sturdy footwear is a must. Steep sections are all well-secured. Recommended in summer, as 80% of the trail is shaded.

September 26, 2022,Sentier des Roches – Kurzversion 🌨️🤨

A must-do tour if you're in the area.

It's also available in a slightly longer version.

But today at 6 degrees rain was also announced

And then it came

It got slippery, but the "bad" spots are all with handrails.

Otherwise you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights

And good shoes

Chucks and/or addilets -> no way

Sentier des Roches circular trail with a dog 🐶🏔🥾

📍Vosges, France

You should be free from giddiness if you dare to approach the Sentier des Roches. The path leads along a steep rock face and is absolutely not for bad shoes! If you want the feeling of a light via ferrata, this is the place for you. Rocky, stony and …

May 29, 2022,Le sentier des roches

steep slope on the valley of Munster and the plain of Alsace, this magnificent alpine path with many ladders and aerial passages resembles, in places, a real via ferrata. The second part, through high stubble and beech groves, is easier.

Final tour on a secured mountain path between Col de la Schlucht and Frankenthal.

The alpine mountain trail is considered to be one of the most challenging trails in the Vosges, so we definitely had to see it. 😉

December 30, 2022,🇫🇷Sentier des Roches – Col del la Schlucht

We didn't need a via ferrata set in the drizzle and 09 degrees Celsius. In any case, you should be free from giddiness and wear good hiking shoes.

September 25, 2024,Stosswihr: Sentier des Roches - Sentier Trois Fours

What a spectacular hiking trail! It exceeded my expectations by far, even in relatively bad weather. And that definitely puts it on the list of favorite hikes.
You should be sure-footed and comfortable with heights, although the exposed Sentier de Roche is well secured. But otherwise it is easy to walk.
The entire trail was wet, but it only rained …
