Alsace Bike Tour

Our Alsace bike tour has it all. Do you love visiting castles? Alsace boasts Europe's highest concentration of feudal castles, bearing witness to its turbulent history. Without a doubt the most famous of these is the Haut Koenigsbourg castle that happens to be right along the route on our bicycle tour. And a long ride just wouldn't be complete without a tasty meal at an Alsatian inn, including a valley pie together with a green salad, Munster cheese, fromage blanc tart, bilberry or apple pie. And Sundays would be bland and boring without baeckeoffe (vegetable and meat stew) or traditional Alsatian-style choucroute (sauerkraut).Several gastronomic trails invite you to discover this rich culinary heritage. 

Due to their tumultuous past, Alsatians are extremely proud to be French and take great offense in being mistaken for Germans. You will see more French flags on the streets here than in any other inland French city.  The Alsatian Vineyard Route is a veritable rite-of-passage for the discerning wine buff, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to taste the Alsatians’ craft throughout the week on your cycling vacation.  Come and stay in charming inns, discover the beauty of the sloping vineyards, visit many historical villages and monuments that have been the heart of many border feuds.
