The highest peak of the mountain range, Guebwiller, is in the south, with an altitude of 1,426 meters. It is composed of ancient rocks.

The Vosges Province, where part of the Vosges Mountains is located, is one of the provinces with the most forests in France. Cereals are grown there, cattle are raised, there are abundant fruits, cherries and plums are local specialties, and the industry is mainly textile industry.

To the southeast of the Vosges Mountains, sheltered by the highest peaks, lie the Hersas vineyards. Alsace is densely populated, so farms here are generally small. However, the grape cultivation on these small farms is very prosperous, producing world-famous Riesling and Tramingar aromatic white wines, most of which are exported abroad. The wine-producing areas are mostly concentrated in the mountains around the Vosges Mountains, with Colmar being the center of this region.

The mountains in the southwest of the Vosges Mountains are relatively gentle. There are beautiful canyons and lakes here, making it an ideal place for tourism and vacation.
