Randonnée - sentier des carrières

The Pont des Fées (Bridge of the Fairies), a listed historic monument, is a mysterious vestige located between Saint-Amé and Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont, in the heart of a magnificent forest. Built of dry stone at an undetermined time, it is 29 metres long, 13 metres wide and 7 metres high. The bridge served as a passageway between the Saint-Mont and the Massif du Fossard. Since April 2023, it has been forbidden to cross the Pont des Fées, but a diversion has been put in place by Club Vosgien volunteers. This new route offers a splendid view of the bridge, providing an unforgettable escape in a natural setting. It can be reached by car from Saint-Amé or Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont.

In the footsteps of Saint-Amé de Remiremont Saint-Amé, a seventh-century figure, founded the double monastery of Saint-Mont with Saint-Romaric. Born in Grenoble, he lived as a hermit on this mountain, where he has been buried since 629. This spiritual place gave birth to one of the most influential women's chapters in Europe. Today, crosses and remains are a reminder of this rich past, marking the site of the first church of Saint-Amé and a former cemetery. Although the current chapel is closed, the exterior is an invitation to discover a place steeped in history and legend. Access: Start on foot from the mobile police station in Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont. Walking map available from the Tourist Office and on the Remiremont Plombières Tourisme app.

Mont Habend, also known as Saint-Mont, is a sacred site located at an altitude of 672 m in the commune of Saint-Amé, to the south of the Fossard massif. The site offers exceptional views over the Moselle and Moselotte valleys, and has been occupied since ancient times. In 620, Amé, a monk preacher, and Romaric, a nobleman from Austrasia, founded a double monastery here, following the austere rule of Saint-Colomban. The female monastery was transferred in 819, but the site remained a place of pilgrimage for several centuries. Recent excavations have uncovered a burial necropolis dating back to the first millennium and traces of various medieval buildings. Now a listed monument, the site holds many secrets, including the largest group of Formae (funerary tombs of nuns) ever discovered. Saint-Mont can only be reached on foot, either via the chapel of Vieux Saint-Amé, or via Saint-Étienne-Lès-Remiremont.

Inaugurated in September 1936, this memorial pays tribute to the emblematic figures of Saint-Mont. A bronze statue of Saint Amé sits majestically at the end of a path. This is flanked by eight Vosges granite steles, each adorned with a medallion representing a saint who left their mark on the history of the site: Saint Perpetua, Saint Gerbétrude, Saint Claire, Saint Romaric, Saint Arnould, Saint Mactefelde, Saint Adelphe and Saint Emmon. A spiritual and historical site that invites reflection and discovery of the region's rich religious heritage.

Very beautiful panoramic view of the Moselotte valley. Ancient granite quarry where the famous Vosges paving stones were made. Access by car from rue du Faing des Aulnées.

The site offers fine views over the Moselle and Moselotte valleys. A place of pilgrimage for centuries, it had a major influence on the whole region. Recent archaeological excavations have enabled the construction of the church to be restored and its history to be clarified. Access: from ‘Saint-Romary’, take the main road, which is closed to motor vehicles. Go straight on at the junction of two tracks. At the junction of several paths, turn left. Continue uphill and pass under the porch to reach the plateau, the chapel and the 360-degree panorama. Return along the large downhill path. Head towards the Ponts des Fées (follow the diversions as it is forbidden to walk on the bridge in order to preserve it). Once you have crossed the bridge, follow the red ring markings and finally take the path marked with red triangles, which will take you back to the car park.

Kerlinquin Stone: an enormous monolithic block of red sandstone, almost 5 metres high, 8 metres long and about 1.5 metres wide. It seems to have been torn from a sandstone cliff by the glacier that covered the heights and transported it several hundred metres away. It was used as a gathering place for ritual practices that still took place in the modern period. Its weight has been estimated at about 132 tons. Classified as a historical monument in 1886.
