In Grand Est, Driing brings together holiday rentals offered directly by their owners, mainly in the Vosges mountains around La Bresse and Gérardmer, and along the Alsace Wine Route. With Basel-Mulhouse airport served by flights from the UK, Alsace and the Vosges are easy to reach. The median price is €85 per night (typically €60 to €150). For properties also listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, booking direct works out on average 23% cheaper for the same home: one of the highest savings in France.
Every property on this page is booked directly with its owner, with no platform commission added to what you pay. The saving is real: for holiday rentals in the region that are also listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, the direct price is on average 23% lower for the same home on the same dates. Over a ski week or a mountain holiday, that often adds up to hundreds of euros.
The price you see is the one set by the host, with no middleman between you and the person welcoming you. Same home, better price.
The region is built around two areas that most travellers look for:
Properties are mainly entire homes: mountain chalets and apartments in the High Vosges, quiet gîtes near the ski resorts and village houses along the Wine Route.
Prices reflect this variety:
The most common amenities are Wi-Fi, free parking and a garden; some chalets have a spa or an open fire.
The highlights are easy to reach from most properties:
To get around, the Vosges can be explored on foot along the Club Vosgien trails, the lakes are perfect for swimming in summer, and Alsace is best discovered from cellar to cellar by bike.

When is the best time to visit the Vosges?
Winter for skiing (December to March, depending on snow), summer for the lakes and hiking. School holidays and the Alsace Christmas markets are in high demand, so it is best to book early.
