Follow the classic Alsatian half-timbered houses on a two-week cycling tour where you’ll enjoy the region’s many local specialties.
Discover Colmar, the wine capital of Alsace, where Riesling and Gewürztraminer flow freely; Munster and its delicious cheese with its unique aroma; or the Kreuzweg and Charbonnière mountain passes, where you can burn off yesterday’s calories.
