About the host
Hosted by Jean-Paul Krebs
The Mountain Hiker is part of our family collection of 16 holiday apartments. We are a couple of retired tourism professionals having many years of experience in the airline industry and travels.
We think that - especially for a rather long stay (most of our guests are discovering the slow travel concept and are staying 7 nights and more) - it is not enough to sleep well during the night but it is necessary to enjoy the stay in a place which is somehow of the same level as the historical surroundings, the landscape, the mountain and the vineyards: beautiful. We put a lot of effort and care in the renovation and decoration of our vacation apartments because we want our holiday homes to be a memorable part of your travel experience to France.

Why they chose this property
The place is quite outstanding.
The Mountain Hiker apartment is part of a beautiful building of 1929. It was completely refurbished with organic materials, beautifully furnished and decorated. You will enjoy a fantastic mountain panorama and a garden where to sit and even have a meal outside.

What makes this property unique
La Vancelle is a small Alsatian mountain village, nestled on the southern slope of a mountain arch that rises to about 855 meters.
Only a wise eye can see the village from the valley. Hidden in a beautiful forest, it is a haven of peace and nature. And yet it is easily accessible and ideally located, away from the crowds but just minutes from the wine route, the wine villages and the major tourist attractions.
2 good restaurants just within short walking distance. Shops 2,5 kilometers.
