About this property

Gîte "The friends first"

Located at the foot of the crest road in the Munster valley, we are in the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park.
Jean-Marie took up the challenge of converting an old village hall into a gîte. Six magnificent bedrooms, very spacious and tastefully furnished, a large living room, a very well equipped kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.
The village is located 28 km from Colmar, 8 from Munster and 1.4 km from Metzeral train station.
Sondernach is a starting point for many hikes. You can also come here for downhill or cross-country skiing. The Schnepfenried ski resort also offers one of the largest ski areas in Alsace.
The Martinswand is the "historic" cliff of the region and allows climbing in very good conditions.
On horseback, on foot, on skis, by bike, by train, or simply by car, all means are good to come to Sondernach.

Hébergement agréable

Hébergement tres propre et spacieux. Literie et linge de maison de qualité. Équipement tres complet. Il ne manque rien. Le lieu est tres agréable. Le propriétaire est facilement joignable et tres réactif à toutes les demandes. Seul bémol, un relatif manque de lumière et l'absence d'extérieur directement accessible.
