Discover more about Gorges De Crosery

The Gorges de Crosery, located near the village of Thiéfosse in the Vosges region of France, present a stunning example of natural beauty shaped by glacial activity. Carved by the Moselotte River through a granite glacial lock, the gorges offer a picturesque landscape that attracts hikers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The valley was formed during the last ice age by the Moselotte glacier. As the glacier retreated, it left behind various glacial features, including the granite formation that the Moselotte River has since carved through to create the gorges. The site is known for its changing colors throughout the seasons, making it a worthwhile visit year-round. In the summer, the clear waters of the Moselotte offer a refreshing swimming spot from a small sandy beach at the bottom of the gorge. Visitors can explore the Gorges de Crosery via several trails, including a botanical trail that starts near the Thiéfosse church and leads to the gorges. A footbridge spans the Moselotte at the gorge, providing views of the river and the surrounding landscape. The area is also accessible via the Voie Verte des Hautes Vosges, a greenway suitable for cycling, walking, and rollerblading. Nearby, one can find additional natural attractions such as the Faymont, Gué du Saut, and Saut du Bouchot waterfalls.
