Overview

The fullest way to see Alsace by bike: a genuine end-to-end traverse from Wissembourg in the north to Mulhouse in the south, taking in Strasbourg, Saverne, Obernai and Colmar along the way.

Ten days is a considered amount of time for a region this varied - long enough to properly settle into a rhythm, and to feel the landscape change as you move south through the Wine Route towards the Swiss border.

Highlights

  • Cities of Strasbourg, Saverne, Obernai, Colmar and Mulhouse
  • The Alsace Wine Route and its typical villages
  • The richness of the region's historical heritage
  • The lovely cycle paths of the Alsace Wine Route
  • A warm welcome from your hosts along the way
