The Gazon du Faing is a granitic summit of the Vosges massif located on the ridge line between the Col du Bonhomme and the Col de la Schlucht.

This nearly flat summit with rounded edges, ranking among the ten highest in the massif, has a fairly steep slope on the Alsatian side, giving rise to a glacial cirque that harbors Lac Noir 350 meters below.

This late toponymic formation, for altimetric identification purposes in the Belle Époque, follows the same linguistic genesis as that of the Ringbuhl.

[3] The vast mountain pasture, with its evocative name, which is now partly abandoned, stretched across the Lorraine slope, overlooking the Col du Louschbach [fr] and especially the upper valley of the River Meurthe nearly 600 meters below.

Its farm-inn is located along the Route des Crêtes, at an altitude of 1,225 meters, south of the former pasture.
