Climont

Climont is a mountain summit in the Vosges at 965 meters elevation, distinguished by its striking trapezoidal sandstone formation. The peak rises noticeably above the surrounding forested valleys and creates a recognizable landmark across the region.

The mountain was previously known as Clivemont or Winberg and served as an important landmark along historic trade routes crossing the Vosges region. Its different names and evolving uses reflect centuries of activity by merchants and travelers passing through the area.

The Julius Tower at the summit commemorates Julius Euting, who established the Vosges Club and developed the regional hiking trail network.

Marked hiking trails approach the summit from nearby communities, with good infrastructure around Urbeis for starting your walk. Plan your visit according to season and weather conditions, as mountain paths can vary significantly depending on time of year.

An observation tower at the summit offers a complete 360-degree panoramic view across the entire Val de Villé valley and the surrounding mountain chains. This vantage point lets visitors see the entire landscape from a single location.
