There are 50 million years due to the formation of the Alps, the old massif rises again.
It breaks up the middle, stepped collapses to form the Rhine rift. On the western edges and appear the Vosges and the Black Forest. Erosion takes, strips the base and carved valleys thanks to the flaws, the sea invaded the Rhine Graben. Glaciers cover the Vosges durantplusieurs cooling phases. It carve valleys, refine the terrain. The ultimate ice age
dates back to 12,000 years. Many circuses and glacial lakes were witnesses, and small depressions. Lake of the Ball is a natural lake in the Alsatian side of the Vosges in Florival Valley and at the foot of the Grand Ballon in a circle of high mountains
Il y a 50 millions d'années : sous l'effet de la formation des Alpes, le vieux massif se soulève à nouveau.
Il se disloque au centre, s’effondre en gradins pour former le rift rhénan. Sur les bords ouest et est, apparaissent les Vosges et la Forêt Noire. L’érosion reprend, dénude le socle et sculpte les vallées à la faveur des failles, la mer envahit le fossé rhénan. Des glaciers recouvrent le massif des Vosges durant plusieurs phases de refroidissement. Il sculptent les vallées, affinent le relief. L’ultime période glaciaire remonte à 12000 ans. De nombreux cirques et lacs glaciaires en sont les témoins, ainsi que les petites dépressions. Le lac du Ballon est un lac naturel du versant alsacien des Vosges dans la vallée du Florival et situé au pied du Grand Ballon dans un cirque de hautes montagnes
