GERARDMER, a small town of 9,600 inhabitants, located in the Hautes-Vosges, is not only a well-known health and summer resort, but also a large winter sports resort boasting a variety of installations. Set in the heart of a luxuriant, well-protected natural site, nestling between lake and imposing firwoods, GERARDMER shows the winter tourist what skiing for pleasure really means. Just 1.5 miles from the valley of lakes, 20 downhill slopes of all levels and 25 miles of cross-country runs (both classic and skating techniques) afford the best skiing in the Vosges. The snowfields will delight all nature lovers and amateurs of medium mountains.

Just spent a great week in the Gerardmer area. Snowboarded Gerardmer for 3 days. Good value day pass but queues for the bottom chair lift got really busy - get up to the top of the mountain ASAP and stay there for most of the day! Kids area near the car park was great, especially the sledge park and free rope-pull for the nusery slope. Ski conditions were OK, good mix of slopes for all abilities, less so for experts and snowpark was poor!. Food in the Cafe was good avlue but the toilets were poor.
Would I go back.....Yes, but I'd mix my week up skiing Gerardmer and La Bresse Hohneck.
