Torchlight New Year's Eve around the Castle

A simple attractive idea, proof of friendship, a unique place, a good dose of volunteering, unconditional support, generous nature, an essential date, intergenerational popular participation, free, no constraint to participate, this is the recipe for '' a unique event offered to you by enthusiasts of the Alsatian Jura for the transition to the new year!

The principle has remained the same for several years: offer a 3 km torchlit walk, decorated with a glass of crémant offered within the confines of the magical site of the FERRETTE castle.

From 22 p.m., the Sundgau Tourist Office, the Ferrette town hall and several Ferrette associations invite you to this 3 km digestive walk around the castle.
