Cornimont

Cornimont is a village in the Vosges mountains, in the department of the same name, nestled in the Moselotte valley. This mid-mountain settlement is a popular starting point for reaching the Ballon d'Alsace, one of the iconic peaks of the Vosges range, offering sweeping panoramic views and hiking trails suited to different seasons, as well as ski slopes in winter. Cornimont's natural surroundings, characterised by fir forests and the typical relief of the Hautes-Vosges, lend themselves to outdoor activities all year round, from walking to mountain biking and nearby winter sports. Locally, the Auberge Saint-Martin is well regarded for its tarte flambée, a worthwhile stop for a hearty meal after a day in the mountains. The village retains the authentic character of a Vosges settlement, with a textile industrial heritage that has shaped its local history. Cornimont appeals to those seeking nature and tranquillity, within reasonable reach of larger towns, while serving as a practical base for exploring the surrounding landscapes and peaks of the Ballons des Vosges regional nature park.
