As part of this day, a conference-debate entitled “Better welcome, better preservation” is hosted by Robert Jacquot, president of the Vosges Club of Remiremont and Max Soullie, former ONF trainer.
This discussion is an opportunity to address the challenges of preserving our natural spaces, while also considering welcoming practices that respect these areas and their ecosystems. It's a great opportunity to raise public awareness of the impact of hiking on the environment and encourage a more sustainable approach.
From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Hiking House
Guided hikes
The afternoon is punctuated by three guided hikes, each centered around a specific theme. They follow the Feuillées circuit, an 8,9 km route nestled in the heart of the Secret Vosges, offering magnificent views of the Val d'Ajol. Everyone has their own pace and desires:
- 13:30 p.m.: start of the “health” hike, to discover the benefits of walking on the body and mind.
- 14 p.m.: heading for the “history” hike, meeting the local heritage.
- 14:30 p.m.: time for the “ecology” hike, to better understand the natural riches that surround us.
Choose your favorite theme and let yourself be guided along the trails by the Vosges Club and the Club Rando Découverte du Pays d'Hérival!
