Carbon Neutral Trip
Welcome to Alsace, where French finesse meets German gemütlichkeit in a delicious cultural cocktail. E-bike along the Route des Vins past fairytale villages, manicured vineyards and candy-coloured towns. Sip world-class wines, float through Colmar’s dreamy canals with bubbly in hand, and swap stories with local artisans and historians—Alsatian charm at its finest.
Pedal from the lush forests of the Vosges Mountains to the rolling vineyards of the Alsace wine route dotted with quaint, colourful villages.
