Masevaux Attractions
Masevaux (alt. 405m/1,330ft; pop. 3,329) is a finely situated little industrial and commercial town in the Doller Valley which is also a popular climatic resort. It originally grew up around a Benedictine abbey founded in 728 and dissolved during the French Revolution. It is a town of elegant old burghers' houses of the 16th and 17th centuries and squares decorated with fountains.
Masevaux is the starting point for the ascent of the Rossberg (1,191m/3,908ft) by a number of different routes. From here there is also an attractive trip up the Doller valley, with the artificial Lac d'Alfeld, to the Ballon d'Alsace.
