Cycling day trip from Sélestat to Colmar

Here’s a relaxed and scenic bike ride from Sélestat to Colmar in the heart of Alsace! Starting out in Sélestat, you’ll be pedaling from a town known for its charming half-timbered houses and one of the oldest libraries in Europe. The route covers just over 30 km, making it an easy-going half-day ride, mostly flat with just a light ascent (under 90 meters total).

For most of the journey, you’ll cruise along quiet roads, cycleways, and tracks, enjoying the peaceful countryside and maybe even catching glimpses of the Vosges mountains or local vineyards. Surfaces are mostly paved and smooth, so you won't be bumping around too much.

Your ride wraps up in Colmar, rightfully famous for its colorful old town, canals, and the Unterlinden Museum’s art treasures. It’s a great spot to grab a coffee or some Alsatian treats after the spin. This route is ideal if you’re looking for a mellow ride between two beautiful towns with plenty of storybook charm!
