01 - Arrive

The place itself

La Clairière Bio & Spa Hôtel is an organically certified wellness hotel set within the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park in La Petite-Pierre, Alsace. The property is built around a philosophy of bio-conscious living: certified organic cuisine, natural spa treatments drawing on Alsatian forest botanicals, thermal pool facilities, and rooms designed with natural materials in a setting of beech woodland and village calm. The spa at La Clairière offers a comprehensive wellness programme including thermal pools with indoor-outdoor forest views, steam room, sauna, and a menu of body treatments using organic plant and essential-oil formulations. The organic kitchen produces fully certified menus. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sourced from local Alsatian farms and the hotel's own kitchen garden. The Northern Vosges Nature Park surrounding the property provides forest bathing paths, hiking trails, and the romantic medieval village of La Petite-Pierre within walking distance.

Organic treatments
Body wraps, aromatherapy massages, and plant-based treatments using Vosges botanicals restore the skin and nervous system across your stay days.
