About this getaway

4-DAY INTRODUCTION TO ROAMING

Discover the pleasure of an itinerant hike in an exceptional natural environment, and finish your journey by relaxing at the Spa in the charming town of Niederbronn les Bains. Along the way, you'll learn to let go and build a new relationship with time, based on slowness and the rediscovery of your 5 senses!

Follow in the footsteps of the mythical red rectangle of the GR 53 from Wissembourg to Niederbronn. The 3 stages will teach you to slow down from the hectic pace of modern life. This is one of the precious virtues of roaming. And at the end of your hike, you can relax body and mind in a 400 m² wellness area, a veritable cocoon of rejuvenation (swimming pool, sauna, hammam). After a Best Off treatment or a relaxing 40-minute massage, you'll forget all about your efforts, and maybe even want to continue this GR next time, all the way to Saverne or beyond...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

  • Equipment required: Technical all-weather clothing, suitable for the season and in which you feel comfortable trekking. A good pair of shoes (not new) and walking poles. A more detailed list will be provided at the time of booking. A swimsuit is also a good addition to your day bag, as you'll want to relax in the sauna or swimming pool after a day's walking.
