A night walk under the spring constellations
Have you ever contemplated the starry spring sky from the mountains? Enjoy a 100% natural spectacle in the heart of the Vosges mountains!
At dusk, head for the Col du Wettstein for a short hike accompanied by a guide with a passion for astronomy. The walk begins gently through the forest, as the light fades and the first stars make their appearance...
You'll then reach a high-altitude meadow, far from any light pollution, to make yourself comfortable and look up at the sky.
How do you find your way among the stars? What are the major constellations? And what stories lie behind them? Your guide will give you all the answers, combining science, mythology and wonder under the stars. A moment out of time, to share alone, in love, with family or friends!
