Details about the cycling tour around Alsace

This cycling holiday in Alsace includes luggage transport and you will explore Alsace for eight days. The bike tour stops at the most beautiful spots the region has to offer: Strasbourg, Riquewihr, Colmar and Ottmarsheim are just some of the cities where you stay. Pleasantly flat cycle paths with few slopes, idyllic rest areas and mysterious castle ruins.

The highlights of the cycling holiday at a glance

Itinerary

You leave Strasbourg via the cycle route along the Rhine-Rhône Canal in a southerly direction.

ca. 25-55 km

You drive through villages and along the canal from Marckolsheim to the art city of Colmar. This fairytale village was also the main source of inspiration for the village of Beauty and the Beast. Colmar is an authentic French art town with a rich history dating back to the 8th century. A city walk also starts at Museum d'Unterlinden, which is located opposite the Office du Tourisme. The description of the walk can be purchased for 50 euro cents at the Office du Tourisme. With this city walk, you really don't miss anything about this unique city.

ca. 40-70 km

You say goodbye to Colmar. On beautifully landscaped cycle paths it goes via Neuf-Brisach to Ottmarsheim. It is worth visiting the basilica from the 12th century. You continue your route along the Rhine Canal, which leads you to the centre of Mulhouse.
