Walk on the Barefoot Trail of Lac Blanc

The Lac Blanc Barefoot Trail is located within the Lac Blanc Adventure Park. The Lac Blanc is a ski resort near Colmar. In the summer, you can go hiking, biking and mountain biking, tree climbing and…a barefoot trail!

The concept of the barefoot trail was born in Germany. The general idea is to recover forgotten sensations, to reconnect with nature and to enjoy a good massage. It’s also an opportunity to do something a little different.

We take off our shoes at the entrance, leave them in a closed locker and let’s go for the barefoot trail, in the superb Lac Blanc forest! We walk alternately on the earthen floor of the forest and on specially prepared grounds (stone, wood, bark, gravel, water…). Some parts are nice but overall I thought it hurt a little too much! Maybe I’m too sensitive with my feet, go figure… The experience was still fun, even if I didn’t really feel like I was relaxing.

Throughout the walk, there are fun workshops based on the 5 senses. Candies to taste, smells to smell, trees to recognize… It’s well done and fun!

The distance of the Lac Blanc barefoot trail is 1.2km. It takes about 1h30 to do it, the time to walk slowly and to do the workshops. On arrival, a shower allows you to wash your feet.
