Day 1: Strasbourg - Colmar

Private Transfer to your hotel

Arrival at your accommodation

After the check-in, you will have the rest of the day to visit the surroundings.

Suggestion – Strasbourg

Walking the tightrope between France and Germany, Strasbourg Grande-Île was the first urban center in France to be listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. You will discover the delightfully twisting alleyways lined with half-timbered houses and a Gothic masterpiece of a cathedral, described by Victor Hugo as “a gigantic and delicate marvel” and visible from miles around with its 142-meter spire.

You can also explore the ‘Petite France’ which is a picture-postcard quarter once home to tanners, fishermen, and millers, now a haven of peace at the city’s heart. Strasbourg has also become renowned for its cuisine.

Day 2: Strasbourg

Private Walking Tour of Strasbourg

In this walking tour, your guide will take you to discover the old pedestrian areas, the Cathedral, and the Petite France neighborhood.

The old city center around its Gothic cathedral – Our Lady of Strasbourg. This elegant cathedral was built of red sandstone and was described by Victor Hugo as a “gigantic and delicate marvel”.

Historically, the Petite France neighborhood was the poor section of the city occupied by mills and tanneries, both of which depended on the river and its downward-flowing branches to support their work. Today, the neighborhood is one of the most charming of Strasbourg with its colorful 16th and 17th-century half-timbered houses such as the ‘Maison des Tanneurs’.

Day 3: Eguisheim - Rouffach - Grand Ballon

Bike guide at your disposal for half a day

The guide specializes in Crossing the Massif des Vosges by mountain bike and can offer you roaming guidance over several days. The tour will allow you to enjoy the activity and find pleasure in these moments.

Guided, advised, and well accompanied! A perfect excursion.

Rent a mountain bike for half a day

A mountain bike is a tool of freedom adventure. It allows you to move freely and will bring pleasure in an individual way. A bike, assured of its reliability, performance, and comfort, is provided to you at the point of rental in the Kaysersberg Valley White Lake, Alsace.

Bicycles are adapted to the outing, flexible and mobile. Bicycle transport is provided at a most suitable starting point.

Day 4: La Petite-Pierre - Wingen-sur-Moder - Lichtenberg

After this, you will visit (on your own) the ruins of the Lichtenberg Castle, a majestic fortress with a tumultuous history, and meet the potters who are well-versed in the tradition of Alsatian pottery.
