Idyllic, interesting and impossibly photogenic: Alsace is one of France’s most intriguing destinations for a walking holiday.

Nestled between the west bank of the Rhine and the Vosges mountains, close to the borders of Germany and Switzerland, Alsace is famous for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes and distinctive Alsatian identity. With a gently rolling terrain and network of dedicated hiking paths, it’s also one of France’s best regions for a ramble.

Explore the beautiful cities of Strasbourg and Colmar, with their narrow cobbled lanes, museums and magnificent gothic cathedrals, and train your camera lens on canal-front cafés, candy coloured half-timbered houses and window boxes spilling over with vibrant blooms. Walk down scenic canal ways and country back roads along the Rhine and Alsace’s famous Wine Route, discovering a gentle landscape dotted with churches, castles and villages that seem plucked from the pages of a fairytale.

Our unique self-guided walking holidays are designed to bring you the highlights and hidden gems of Alsace. Join us as we explore Alsace on foot.
