What To Expect

Orschwiller

Visit Alsace by bike, during a ride with a private guide. From Sélestat to Bergheim, ride in peace on cycle track 5, the longest cycle track in Europe. Discover the vineyards of Alsace and its picturesque villages. Located in the plain of Alsace, at the foot of the Vosges, the town is crossed by the Ill and its territory is largely covered by the wetlands of Grand Ried. Sélestat is mentioned for the first time in the 8th century. Free city of the Holy Empire, member of the Decapolis, Sélestat experienced very rapid development at the end of the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance. It also becomes a focus of humanism. It was then the third city in Alsace, with a port on the Ill and a belt of ramparts. It nevertheless suffered from the troubles linked to the Reformation, the Peasants' War and then the Thirty Years' War, following which it became French.

Fantastic day! Our guide Cedric met us at the train station (we came from Strasbourg-super easy) with e-bikes. We cycled through the vineyards and small villages. I had never used an e-bike, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s easy and intuitive. Stopped for a bite of cheese, and sweets and tasted some wine. HIGHLY recommend this tour. (Cedric is fluent in English as well as French and German).

I had a wonderful experience with Detour Alsace! From beginning to end, everything was thoughtfully planned and ran smoothly. Sophie was a fantastic guide: knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories about Alsace’s history, culture, and hidden treasures. The itinerary struck a great balance between exploring charming villages and enjoying the region’s stunning vineyards. After the biking, Cédric led a memorable wine tasting, offering great insights into local varietals and making the whole experience both informative and relaxed. His warmth and enthusiasm made it feel like sharing a drink with a local friend. If you’re looking to explore the true heart of Alsace in a meaningful, stress-free way, I can’t recommend this tour enough!
