Plainfaing is located at the foot of the Bonhomme and Schlucht passes, between Colmar and Saint-Dié, at the crossroads of the Route des Crêtes and Alsace. After an important textile industrial past, Plainfaing has been able to develop its tourism and its motto "live nature". Its geographical location is a major asset: close to the main ski resorts of the Vosges, the ridges and the highest peaks for hiking, at the foot of Alsace, the wine route and, in December, the magnificent Christmas markets Alsatians and Germans.
