Alsace

Cycling in the beautiful Alsace region

The combination of a beautiful and varied landscape, picturesque postcard villages, the wines of Alsace and easy cycling on cycle paths and small roads with little traffic makes cycling holidays in Alsace a real pleasure! The cycle tours are designed so that you have plenty of time to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Choose between travelling 8 days/ 7 nights or 5 days/ 4 nights. Both options start in Strasbourg and take you along Alsace’s famous wine region with charming villages and towns such as Colmar and Obernai.
Alsace is located on the French side of the Rhine, while on the other side of the river we find Germany. Alsace has historically belonged to both France and Germany, making it a bilingual region.
