The Alsace Wine Route by Bike

Discover the vineyard cycle route in a different way, running along the eastern slopes of the Vosges Mountains and crossing wine-growing towns. Our cycling tours around Colmar and Strasbourg guide you through picture-postcard landscapes: flower-filled villages, Romanesque abbeys, and undulating vineyards whose colors change with the seasons.

During your cycling trip in Alsace, take the time to meet the winemakers and taste their wines. You'll have the opportunity to do so as you pass through wine-growing villages such as Sélestat or Riquewihr, with their magnificent cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. Discover other renowned vineyards:

• Bordeaux Wine Routes by Bike

Cycling Tours between Colmar and Strasbourg

Colmar, the wine capital of Alsace, with its picturesque half-timbered houses and romantic canals, is a must-see during your stay in Alsace. Strasbourg, meanwhile, boasts a historical and cultural heritage that makes it the richest city in Alsace! It is also incredibly well-equipped with cycle paths. You will have the privilege of visiting Eguisheim, the "favorite village of the French," during your cycling holiday along the wine route. Enjoy a rich and authentic cycle tour in this unique region on safe cycle paths.

Northern Alsace by Bike

If you want to discover another side of Alsace by bike and venture off the beaten track, we recommend our tour of Northern Alsace. Less popular and busy, but just as beautiful, the Northern Vosges Regional Natural Park and the charming villages of Obersteinbach and Lembach provide a wonderful setting for a cycling holiday. Staying in a 5-star gîte is a truly wonderful alternative to disconnect and recharge in complete peace and quiet.
