The Navette des Crêtes ran from 30 May to 27 September 2026: the 2026 season is over. It reached the Vosges summits without the parking pressure of the Route des Crêtes. From La Bresse, Fluo route 88R003 climbed to Col de la Schlucht. The Massif des Vosges lists Grand Ballon, Markstein, Hohneck and Lac Blanc among the shuttle’s stops.
As of 6 October 2026, no 2027 date has been published. This page keeps the 2026 information as a reference and shows what must be reconfirmed.

2027 season: calendar to come
The Massif des Vosges and the La Bresse tourist office currently show only the 2026 map, dates and fares. 2027 season: dates to come, not announced as of 6 October 2026. No 2027 date, timetable or fare is therefore given here. Once the calendar is published, plan the exact journey with the Fluo Grand Est journey planner.
From La Bresse: the route used in 2026
Route 88R003 linked Remiremont, La Bresse and Col de la Schlucht.
Summit route 68R095 ran between Grand Ballon and Lac Blanc. The sources read do not say where it connects with 88R003. The 2026 network had eight valley routes plus this ridge route.
The Lac des Corbeaux shuttle is a separate local service. See our 2026 Esti’Lac shuttle guide when the lake is your destination.
2026 fares (season over)
Grand Est announced the following fares for 2026:
| Ticket | 2026 fare |

| Single ticket, valid for four hours | €4 |
| Reduced fare with a Fluo or Solidaire card | €2 |
| Group or family day pass for 2 to 5 people | €10 |

A TER ticket dated for the day included shuttle access at no extra charge. Tickets were sold on board and through the Fluo network. These are 2026 season fares, to be reconfirmed before the next reopening.
Bicycles, groups and dogs in 2026
Bicycles required advance booking with the operator. La Bresse tourist office stated a maximum capacity of six bicycles and excluded electric bikes. Groups of ten or more also had to book.
Dogs were accepted under conditions. Dogs might need a muzzle depending on the driver, while small animals travelled on the passenger’s lap. Guide dogs were accepted.
Planning a car-free day if the shuttle returns
No return has been announced as of 6 October 2026. If the service resumes, here are three day ideas to check against the new timetable.
Col de la Schlucht and Haut-Chitelet
Go up from La Bresse to Col de la Schlucht, then choose a walk that leaves a safe margin before the return bus. Our Col de la Schlucht hiking guide separates easier starts from more demanding routes.
Hohneck and high meadows
The Massif des Vosges lists the Hohneck among the shuttle’s stops: check the timetable to see which route serves it, and check mountain weather before leaving. Our Hohneck hiking guide outlines the main options.
Point-to-point walk
A walk between two shuttle stops avoids retracing your steps, but it depends on the exact direction and timetable. Do not build the day around catching the final service with no fallback.
Checklist before travelling in 2027
- wait for the 2027 calendar and fares to be published;
- use the timetable for the travel date, not an old screenshot;
- identify both the valley route and summit connection;
- check the last return service;
- book for a bicycle or a group if the 2026 rule is kept;
- review the La Bresse and summit weather;
- keep a shorter walking option for changing conditions.
