Lake Gérardmer in January. It had been snowing for the past few days. Which made this the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains in France a beautiful sight. Enjoyment... indeed with the capital G.
It is a glacial lake located at an altitude of 660 metres, close to the city centre. In winter, the frozen lake is visible from the ski resort's slopes, a magnificent spectacle! This according to the website of https://www.france-voyage.com/frankrijk-toerisme/het-gerardmer-823.htm.
When the temperature is pleasant enough to take to the water, water sports are plentiful. Pedal boats, canoeing, sailing, rowing, pedalos; or swimming at the landscaped beaches. Moreover, there are kayaking and rowing competitions. Or get comfortable and rent a motorboat to enjoy the beautiful surrounding landscapes.
A landscaped 7-kilometre trail offers the opportunity to walk around it in 1½ to 2 hours. As part of the trail is somewhat steep, it is recommended to wear good shoes.
