Carbon Neutral Trip
Alsace is France with a German twist—and a wine list to match. Pedal past half-timbered villages, canals and vineyards straight out of a storybook, then toast with a crisp Riesling and a side of sauerkraut. From Strasbourg’s old-world charm to the rolling Vosges, this is a region where culture, cuisine and countryside come together beautifully.

Dine on Alsatian Specialties
For foodies and wine connoisseurs, Alsace is sure to captivate. Though influenced by its neighbours, the Alsatian cuisine maintains a remarkable character of its own resulting in a delightful fusion of French finesse and German heartiness. Expect traditional dishes like Baeckeoffa and lighter fare like Matelote, a fish stew. Savour choucroute au poisson—sauerkraut with fish in cream sauce—a distinctly Alsatian specialty. Explore the country’s unique wines along the Route de Vins—again, influenced by wine empires France and Germany—but with its own distinctive tastes and style.

Recommended Duration: 5-8 days

Best Time To Go: End of May, June – September, early October.

Good to know

Terrain
Alsace offers diverse terrain which can include some steep hills, especially when riding up to iconic places like Haut-Koenigsbourg or Mont Sainte Odile. We recommend choosing an e-bike if you don't ride hills regularly.

Pre or post trip
If you have extra time to extend your trip, consider combining it with a visit to Germany or Switzerland. You will get a great sense of this part of France, which is heavily influenced by the merge of these countries.
