Description of Alsace cycling holiday in Northern France

Take to two wheels for a week on this Alsace cycling holiday in Northern France. Alsace is a fantastic cycling region, with more than 4,000km of trails, bike paths and lanes. These routes suit all ages and abilities and run through beautiful scenery, making cycling the best way to explore this part of France.

Sitting on the border with Germany, Alsace has both French and German characteristics, and blends them all together to create an utterly unique region, with its own Alsatian language. This self-guided tailor made cycling tour celebrates Alsace’s culture, architecture and spirit, following trails along canals and waterways, to pretty villages and thriving towns. You’ll follow the wine route, too, seeing miles of vineyards stretching into the distance. After a day in the saddle, tuck into a glass of Riesling and some local food such as tarte flambée or choucroute, the Alsatian version of German sauerkraut.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.

Planet

Travelling by bike, you are no longer an observer — you are an active participant in the local environment and culture.

Travelling on small and quiet roads, this tour will allow you to experience part of the rural countryside and ride through famous and not-so-famous small and authentic villages that all so well illustrate the multi-faceted Alsatian character.

During this trip you may get the best out of fine local produce – tasting Riesling’s exceptional wines and directly buying authentic Alsatian food to local producers like flammekueche, choucroute, pain d'epices (gingerbread), and more.

We recommend travel by train, a much more eco-friendly solution. To travel within Europe, we recommend taking trains over renting cars using or air transports. Trains are more energy-efficient and will minimize the CO2 emission per capita.

In cities, we recommend clients to use public transportation, or to walk or bike. City bike rentals are more and more widely available in big and medium-sized cities across Europe they are the best way to get around congested cities.
