Bivouacs
The Bruche Valley offers a daily invitation to make your way through the magnificent landscapes of the Vosges mountains, to walk, to get some fresh air... and quite simply to enjoy nature. At dusk... Here, you will find places to spend the night out of doors in a simple way in harmony with nature. Bivouacking is allowed as long as visitors strictly respect nature.
Associations and federations

Equipment rental
Travel light! No need for stress. All through the year professionals can provide you with equipment adapted to your leisure activities and made-to-measure tips.
Nordic walking
Nordic walking is another way of walking, which is much more active. Nordic Walking is an enhanced walking technique that uses poles to work your upper body as well as your legs. It gives you a highly effective all over workout that doesn’t feel like one! The principle is very simple: it is a question of accentuating the natural swinging movements of the arms during walking and propelling the body forward using two sticks which allow you to go faster and further.
