The best walking in Alsace

Our walking holidays in Alsace explore the area north-west of Colmar, between the River Rhine and the Vosges Mountains. There’s no shortage of ancient castles, nor of fairy-tale villages characterised by flower-bedecked houses, cobbled streets and churches topped with storks’ nests, so don’t forget your camera!

Are our walking holidays in Alsace right for you?

Expect some fairly strenuous ascents and descents each day – our holidays explore some of Alsace's most rewarding paths, taking you into the hills surrounding the villages and their vineyards. To be sure that they are the right grade for your level of fitness, read our definitions below.

Grade 1

These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2

You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2

Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
Grade 2-3

Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
Grade 3

Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
