Itinerary description
During the long Armistice Day weekend, I pay another hit-‘n-run visit to France’s Vosges mountains. My buddy Evert tags along, and we are happy to encounter quite exceptional conditions for the time of year with lots of sun and warm temperatures.
In total, we hike close to 86 km in ~3.5 days. We spend our first night bivouacking at the summit of Le Grand Drumont (1200 m), and our second with a full frontal view of Le Ballon d’Alsace (1247 m). The third night is spent in a cozy open wilderness hut.
Another nice adventure with quite a bit of variation and excellent views of snowy 4000+ m Swiss alpine summits, to top things off!
