Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Colmar à Strasbourg

Leave behind Colmar’s storybook lanes and head north towards Strasbourg on this lovely ride (about 74 km). Colmar, with its pastel timbered houses and famous museums, is perfect for a slow start, maybe with a croissant in hand. From there, you’ll cruise mostly along smooth asphalt and well-maintained cycleways—easy going and ideal if you’re more of a rambler than a racer.

The route is pretty flat, so it’s gentle on the legs and lets you enjoy the scenery: think vineyards, quiet villages, and the lazy flow of the Alsace canals. You’ll spend most of your ride on cycle paths and tracks, with just a smidge of gravel and unpaved stretches to keep things interesting. Strasbourg awaits with its magnificent Gothic cathedral, vibrant café culture, and lots of bike-friendly streets.

A memorable cross-Alsace ride—great for a day’s adventure between two of eastern France’s most picturesque (and cycle-loving) cities!
