Tour Program

Day 1: Arrival in Colmar
You will arrive in Colmar, the capital of Alsace wines. Its "Little Venice" and charming old districts, such as the tanners' quarter, together with its exceptional museums, are well worth a visit.

Day 2: Colmar – Kaysersberg (30 km; +230 m)
Your first ride will take you to the charming, authentic village of Eguisheim and its ramparts. You will continue on the famous Wine Route towards Turckheim: overlooked by the imperial fortress of Hohlandsbourg, the town still radiates a medieval atmosphere with its centuries-old stone houses. You will then reach Kaysersberg, one of the most beautiful towns in Alsace, with an impressive architectural heritage.

Day 3: Kaysersberg – Sélestat (25 km; +290 m) + optional Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle 15 km
You will keep following the Wine Route, through landscapes sprinkled with patches of vineyards and typical small villages such as Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr. Rich in history, these villages have kept all their authenticity and identity. Just before Sélestat, you will have the chance to conquer the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg. Standing on a hill above the valley, this impressive fortress offers a complete picture of the architecture and way of life in a 15th-century castle. If you prefer not to take the bike option, a bus service runs to the castle.

Day 4: Sélestat – Obernai (40 km; +290 m)
You will glimpse the Château de l'Ortenbourg overlooking the vineyards before reaching the pretty village of Dambach-la-Ville, then Barr and its beautiful flowery square. The Wine Route will lead you on to the medieval town of Obernai, with its charming paved streets punctuated by tiny, pretty squares.

Day 5: Obernai – Strasbourg (40 km; +215 m)
On this last stage, you will meander through the vineyards to Molsheim, a very pretty wine town. Then you will follow the cycle path along the Bruche Canal, one of the most beautiful greenways in Alsace, with shady banks and old locks, all the way to Strasbourg. Take time to discover the splendid Notre-Dame Cathedral and the picturesque old quarter of Petite France.

Day 6: Departure
Your tour ends after breakfast. You will depart during the day.
