Leisurely cycling through vineyards and villages on the border between France and Germany Ref CN20

Hopla Geiss ! Let’s go ! En route to discover one of the most endearing regions of France. The course of history has left its mark on the Alsace, caught between two world wars, two cultures, and two often belligerent countries. Alsace's terrific human and cultural richness is drawn from this permanent “yo-yo” between France and Germany. When in Alsace, one feels neither one side of the border, nor the other. Simply in Alsace! And what if we allowed ourselves to be drawn in by the clichés? With its numerous quaint flowered villages, its orderly and neat vineyards covering the slopes of the Vosges foothills, its vast meadows on the Alsatian Ried, it’s easy to see why the region has such a strong identity. And of course everything looks better from the saddle of a bicycle! This trip takes us between Strasbourg and Colmar along the famous Alsace wine route, passing on our way through some of the “most beautiful villages of France”. One of the France Bike Trips team’s favourite areas...

Detailed itinerary (3 days)

Day 1 : Strasbourg - Obernai

Itinerary start: Rendezvous with the baggage transfer representative is on day 1 at 9h00 at Strasbourg SNCF train station. Your tour will start directly from the train station. Please arrive in your cycle clothing. On request we can book the previous night’s accommodation for you in Strasbourg.

Several days of cycling that begin in the Alsatian and European capital of Strasbourg. Strasbourg has a unique atmosphere. The city is large and very cosmopolitan, yet the local Alsatian culture remains prominent. Our destination for this trip is Colmar, in "the south"!  We leave behind us the small medieval streets of the "petite France" neighbourhood, the Ill River, and the immense Notre Dame Cathedral. Our route takes us west along a cycle path that runs through the Bruche Valley, alongside the Bruche, a river that flows in to the Ill in Strasbourg. As with many of the villages during this tour, Molsheim is full of wonderful flowers. Don't miss the superb géranium displays which decorate the imposing buildings in the town centre. Molsheim is also steeped in history: a Merovingian tomb, a Gallo Roman tombstone, and the ruins of the town's 14th century fortifications make for an interesting visit. From Molsheim we join the "route des vins" (wine road), which runs between the famous Alsatian vineyards. Our route south takes us along small country roads, past the residence of the Bugatti family (the family of the famous car manufacturer is from a small village to the south of Molsheim), before joining our overnight stop: Obernai. A beautiful village with its fine half-timbered houses and its abundance of flowers. Once settled in to our hotel, we take the time to discover the medieval streets of Obernai… Night in a hotel.

Distance covered: approx. 35 km / altitude gain: approx. 150 m.

Day 2 and day 3: Obernai - Riquewihr - Colmar

From wine villages to vintage wines, and some of the most beautiful villages in France, the area between Molsheim and Colmar has plenty to offer! Today, our route takes us along the foothills of the Vosges mountains, through vineyards and pretty medieval villages. The Alsace wine producing area is actually very narrow: a mere 3 kilometres wide, and a hundred kilometres in length, protected from the wind and the rain by the Vosges. We join the village of Barr, producer of the vintage Kirchberg wine, with its forty hectares of vineyards overlooking the village. But Kirchberg is just the first of many! Other great vintages await us along our route, in Mittelbergheim (Zotzenberg) and Andlau (Kastelberg and Wiebelsberg). Each peaceful and quiet village is marked by its slender church steeple and its beautiful tall houses. Characteristic of the Alsace is the proximity between one village and the next, offering a varied and rythmical feel to each day. As we gain altitude in the foothills of the Vosges, the plains of the Rhine and the Ried slowly open up before us. We pass through the pretty village of Dambach la Ville: with its colourful facades and multicoloured flower arrangments, the fortified town is a typical example of Alsatian architecture. As we head south, we ride through numerous great Alsatian wine destinations! It would be impossible to name them all, but the most famous are Rodern, Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, Mittelwihr, Riquewihr… Aside from the prestige the famous vineyards bring to the Alsace, they also provide ample work for the local population, helping to keep villages from falling into decline. For the fittest members of the group, there is the opportunity to ride to the Haut Koenigsbourg Château. The 12th century château is perched at 757 metres, high above the Alsace plain (our route is at only 200 metres above sea level…). Visible since leaving Sélestat, the château watches over us for the best part of the day. We stop off in Bergheim, one of the most beautiful villages in the Alsace: the 14th century Porte Haute, the parish church with its Gothic centre that dates back to 1347, as well as its ramparts and numerous turrets… On the riding side, although the tour is relatively gentle, today offers its fair share of climbs. As we approach Colmar, we gradually leave the vineyards behind us, arriving in the town mid afternoon. Colmar is well worth an extended visit, and our early arrival leaves plenty of time to explore the town.  Colmar is considered the capital of the Alsace wines, as well as the most Alsatian of the Alsace towns! The 17th century Maison des Têtes, the Dominican Church, and the collegiat Saint Martin Church are not to be missed. The "Little Venice" quarter, on the banks of the Lauch, is an ideal spot for a peaceful and romantic stroll…

Day 2: Distance covered: approx. 50 km / altitude gain: approx. 600 m. Night in a hotel in or near Riquewihr.

Day 3: Distance covered: approx. 40 km / altitude gain: approx. 250 m.

Distances and altitude gain are an indication only and may vary.

Itinerary end: The trip ends in Colmar at 18h00 (luggage collection). The return train journey to Strasbourg is included in the price. On request we can book the following night's accommodation for you in Colmar or Strasbourg.

There are regular trains between the towns of Colmar and Strasbourg (30 minutes journey time). If you arrive by car, you can either leave your car in Strasbourg, and return from Colmar to Strasbourg at the end of the circuit, or you can leave your car in Colmar early on the first day of the circuit, then take the train to Strasbourg, thus enabling you to recover your car in Colmar at the end of the circuit.

It is important to be correctly insured when embarking on a cycling holiday. We recommend checking the details of your travel insurance (if you have one) and, if necessary, subscribing to our contract below. Please note that France Bike Trips is simply an intermediary between you and the insurance company.

Baggage

During the day you carry only a daypack for additional clothing, water, food, camera, etc. The rest of your baggage is transferred each day to the following nights accommodation.

Health

We strongly recommend having a medical check-up before your holiday.

Our / Your state of mind

- A "group" tour: If you join a guided tour, you will be part of a group for several days. This is a superb opportunity to meet new people and share some magical moments. However, a group tour requires that each person show friendliness, openness and mutual respect for their fellow travellers.

- An "adventure" tour: despite the most careful preparation, adventure tours can present unforeseen events. Accepting these risks will help you enjoy your trip to the full, in the knowledge that your guide, our local partners and the entire France Bike Trips team will offer you the most suitable solutions to any given situation.

Bike and plane / train

If you decide to bring your own bike, be aware that transporting a bike by plane or train is no longer an issue. However a few simple guidelines help to optimise the transport and avoid potential damages that could occur.
Your bike must be transported in a designated bike bag (standard size 120x90cm). This maximal size allows you to travel with your bike as "hand luggage" in any TGV and SNCF trains.
It is very important that you protect your bike in the bag. After having deflated the tires, removed the wheels (by removing the quick release mechanisms), pedals and rear derailleur (which is left hanging on the chain), we recommend you wrap your bike inside the bag in a sheet of dense foam (thickness of 3 to 5 cm). A piece of cardboard or rigid plastic positioned between the foam and the inside of the cover can be beneficial to provide more rigidity.

Once folded up the bike bag will take up very little space and will be transported by the assistance vehicle during your tour.

Bike bags are available directly from France Bike Trips at a cost of 70 euros, plus postage.

Your equipment

Equipment provided by France Bike Trips on guided tours:
  • A group first-aid kit
  • A bike repair kit and tools
Personal equipment to bring:
Baggage

All your luggage must fit in two bags: a daypack/pannier and a travel bag.

It will contain: a picnic lunch, camera, waterproof and extra clothing, etc.

2/ Travel bag

This is the bag that will be transported from one accommodation to the next by vehicle. It should contain all the belongings you will not use during the day.

Please note: Your luggage transported from one accommodation to the next must fit in a single bag and must not exceed 20kg.

List of equipment to pack in your bag the day of departure:
For your head
  • A cap or other head protection against the sun

"Really enjoyed it. We opted for e-bikes at last minute due to one of us having surgery not long before we started the cycle. A good decision and we may not have needed it but reassured us for our first time. Hard to see the app on our phone with high sunshine and die to being over 30 degrees on 2nd day, phone over heated in the plastic and would not work. Also hard to read the I phone when wearing sunglasses so had to take them off.. all these issues to do with heat and sunshine.
The cycle paths were lovely. The towns we went through were beautiful, the scenery included vineyards, riverside, sunflowers, hay, wheat, corn, Forrest, all fabulous"
