The Gazon Vert is a high pasture area that has arisen from a glacial basin. Due to its location and moisture, it stays green even in summer, when the other high pastures have long been yellow due to the sun. A little south of it is the Auberge du Gazon Vert, a jewel among the high-altitude hostels in the area (as of 2021).

The house is located directly on the GR5 long-distance hiking trail. You can stay there and the food is very good.

August 24, 2025,Boucle Col des Perches – Vue sur le lac des Perches au départ de Urbès

One of the most beautiful hikes in the Vosges!
Very beautiful trails, mostly through forests. They're sometimes slightly steep, but fairly easy.
Gazon Vert is a magnificent spot, with a superb view. There are also tables for dining.
