Trail ultra des fermes-auberges

Bourbach-le-Haut

A long circuit advertised as 46 km from the Col du Hundsruck, through the open pastures of the Thannerhubel and Rossberg. Between the Doller and Thur valleys, this published trail-running loop requires strong endurance when tackled on foot.

Between two valleys

The route links the Doller and Thur valleys through the heights of the Vosges. The tourism office stresses descents followed by renewed climbing: think of it as repeated efforts rather than a straightforward ridge traverse.

Thannerhubel and Rossberg

The pastures, farm inns and refuges of the Thannerhubel and Rossberg give the circuit its identity. Moving between open high ground and valley slopes is a key part of the experience. Establishments mentioned in the route’s theme are not guaranteed services for your travel date.

Choosing a walking format

At an advertised 46 km, on terrain the producer describes as difficult, walking the whole circuit calls for appropriate preparation. If you plan to split it over several days, check possible overnight stops first; this guide does not provide a confirmed stage plan or accommodation.

Starting at the Hundsruck

The published start is the Col du Hundsruck in Bourbach-le-Haut. The supplied GPX measures approximately 46.6 km, a moderate difference from the advertised distance. Use the complete track and allow ample time for descents, breaks and navigation.
