Tour description
Travel through traditional Alsace during a tour of Alsace by bike between vineyards and villages
Discover traditional and picturesque Alsace, the postcard’s one but also the one more unusual and little-known. This tour of Alsace by bike will take you to meet Romanesque, Gothic or Baroque architecture, the artistic treasures of museums, the forests of the Vosges mountain, the Ried peat bogs and the vineyards sparkling under the sun. The warm welcome of Alsatians, the liveliness of traditions, the generosity of gastronomy (authentic, refined and prestigious), and the characteristic palette of Alsace wines, compose this place of France where life is good and that we invite you to discover during your cycling holidays. Cycling trip between Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin.You sill strat “tour of Alsace by bike” in Strasbourg. Take time to visit this historic city, to stroll along its many canals, especially in the must-see district of “Petite France” or the cathedral or even on the outskirts of the European Parliament.Then start your cycling tour south into the Alsace plain, a vast plain located between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine river. Discovery of the Ried peat bogs rich in aquatic flora and fauna.
Your route will take you to Selestat then Colmar, town of Art and Capital of Alsace wines. Do not miss the picturesque district of “Little Venice”. You then enter the wine sector with the backdrop of the Ballon d’Alsace, the highest point of the Vosges mountains that you will follow during the next days by cycling up the wine route north. Let yourself be guided by this superb bicycle route through this vineyard, nestled at the foot of the Vosges mountains and punctuated by multiple villages, each as charming as the next. A real invitation to taste the characteristic white wines of Alsace, in a bar or a wine-growing estate, and local gastronomy made up of good dishes (!) and pastries that will delight you. Gubwiller, Riquewih, or Mittelbergehim: some of the villages that you will pass through and which are among the most beautiful villages in France.
