Alsace & Vosges Mountains - 4 Days

Tour in Your Own Car - Alsace & Vosges Mountains Road Trip

Less than 6 hours drive from Calais, you arrive at one of the most beautiful and undiscovered regions of middle France, the Alsace. This region of France is famous for its fine wines, but it has another secret in store for you - the wine routes and the incredible Vosges Mountains offer up mile upon mile of incredible driving roads.

This road trip tour starts from the delightful city of Strasbourg, famed as both the co-home of the European Parliament, but more importantly, as one of the finest medieval towns in northeastern France. You will journey south, into the heart of the Vosges Mountains, where you will find delightful lower mountain passes rising to nearly 1300 m. On the second day, you have the opportunity to drive the historic Alsace wine route, skirting around the city of Colmar, and passing through some of the finest vineyards in northern France, as well as enjoying a run-up to the famous Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg with outstanding views across the Rhine Valley. The road trip then finishes back in the city Strasbourg for a final evening.

Alsace & Vosges Mountains Road Trip

Day 1 - France / Strasbourg

Drive directly to Strasbourg, the capital of the Alsace region, with the option to stop in the Champagne region, Reims. Arrive in Strasbourg in time to visit the beautiful old town and not miss one of the many wonderful restaurants!

Overnight Hotel: 4-Star Les Haras, Strasbourg

Day 2 - Vosges Mountains / Route Crete

Officially start your scenic road trip on Day 2, leaving Strasbourg via a small mountain pass, and then stop for a visit to the old castle, "Haut Koenigsbourg", dated from the 12th century, with amazing views over the Alsace Rhine valley. Continue the journey through deserted mid-mountain passes, sweeping turns, lakes, and pines forests-- the perfect mix for all petrolheads, including a full loop of the stunning Route Cretes. After lunch in the mountains, head down to the beautiful village of Kaysersberg where you will stay for the night. This Alsacian jewel really is one of the best small villages in the region!

Overnight Hotel: 5-Star L‘Esquisse Colmar

Day 3 - Vosges and Alsace Wine Route Back to Strasbourg

On Day 3, there are two options for how you want to start. If you've had enough mountain roads, you can cruise down the city of Colmar to visit and have lunch, then head onto the wine route to Strasbourg, passing through picturesque villages. Alternatively, if you want more mountain roads, go up into the mountains again, around some of the small deserted, sweeping roads, offering fantastic views to the Jura and even to the Alps, far away in the distance. Then join the route back towards Colmar by the wine route. We can recommend 3-4 of the best wineries along the wine route and book tastings for you along the way. After exploring the wine route, head back to Strasbourg for your final evening.
