A winter day in Gérardmer with ADOPTE UNE CONCIERGERIE: at the heart of the Vosges Massif. Nestled between lakes, forests and rounded peaks, Gérardmer is one of the most charming gateways to the Vosges Massif. In winter, this small town turns into a Playground for the whole family: snow, ski slopes, traditional sweets, local textiles, wellness and a lively resort atmosphere. To make the most of your stay, you can rely on ADOPTE UNE CONCIERGERIE, a private concierge and corporate concierge service that designs tailor‑made getaways between Alsace and the Vosges. Morning: snowshoeing with a guide, booked by your concierge To discover the mountains gently and introduce children to winter hiking, a snowshoe walk with a mid‑mountain guide is an excellent choice. Working with local partners, ADOPTE UNE CONCIERGERIE can arrange for you: - a certified guide, - a route adapted to your level, - equipment rental (snowshoes and poles). Snow‑covered trails wind between fir trees and soft ridges. You walk at your own pace, stop to enjoy the silence of the forest, look for animal tracks in the snow… and the youngest still find the energy to run and play. With your concierge taking care of all the practical details – schedule, meeting point, transfers – you can simply enjoy the landscapes of the Vosges Massif.
