Highlights of campervan hire in Alsace
From mountain roads to rolling tracks through vineyards, from iconic villages to restaurants overflowing with comforting specialties — here are our five favourites to discover during a road trip in Alsace.
The wine route:
over 1,300 years of culture — in every sense — have shaped this exceptional region, promising fascinating encounters, frequent photo stops and gentle strolls in villages.Colmar:
its small canals, waterside terraces, timber-framed houses and monuments lit at night… Honestly, it’s almost unfair to be so beautiful!The Alsace villages:
straight out of a Pixar film, the Alsatian villages draw crowds from around the world. In low season, it’s peaceful paradise. At Christmas, it’s unmissable. Don’t miss Kaysersberg, Eguisheim, Obernai and a myriad of other enchanting places.The Route des Crêtes:
88 kilometres of pure happiness, discovering the legendary peaks of the Vosges, accessible hikes, lakes and the Haut-Koenigsbourg, the king of Alsatian castles.The gastronomy:
you won’t lose weight… but what a pleasure! From the legendary sauerkraut to the Montbéliard sausage via the baeckeoffe, munster cheese, spaetzle or kougelhopf, yeeu it’s good!Where to hire a campervan in Alsace?
With your WeVan campervan hire, you’ll have Alsace, Lorraine, Moselle and even Switzerland or Germany within reach. Thanks to our WeVan agencies in Alsace, planning your road trip in France is easy.
For once, embracing clichés feels good. A stork nesting in a chimney. A Christmas market – one of the most beautiful in the world – under the snow. The incredible Gothic relief of Strasbourg Cathedral streaked by lightning. That slightly guilty selfie in front of Colmar’s half-timbered houses…
But Alsace is above all a story of roads. Among the favourite vanlife routes, travel the Wine Route with your campervan hire. A top destination for wine tourism, it winds through rolling hills and some of Alsace’s most beautiful villages.
We highly recommend bringing bicycles to fully enjoy the region. Park your campervan or motorhome at one of Alsace’s campsites and explore the cycling routes that pass through vineyards and hillsides. Chat with winemakers, stock up on local delicacies, and return to your van at golden hour. Pull out your garden table – it’s the perfect moment to open a bottle of Riesling or Gewurztraminer before sleeping under the stars.
The Wine Route doesn’t have a monopoly on beauty. Standing proudly in its mountains, the Route des Crêtes offers another side of Alsace. In the Vosges, peat bogs, fir forests, uplands and lakes unfold with the rhythm of the seasons.
In winter, Lac Blanc becomes the kingdom of cross-country skiing. In autumn, hikes turn gold and copper. In spring and summer, the Hohneck massif, Gazon du Faing and Markstein offer many activities – mountain biking, summer sledding, ziplining or paragliding – under the astonished gaze of Vosgian cows. Hiring a campervan in Alsace also gives you the freedom to easily bring along all your sports equipment.
Coming to Alsace without gaining a few kilos of “spack” (fat) is a crime. After a good hike or kayak trip on the Old Rhine, fill up on the calories you’ve burned. For a picnic in the wild, flammekueche (veggie or not) is an honoured guest. Pair it with a cheese pretzel, before tackling the traditional kougelhopf. If you give in to a nap, no one will blame you. In restaurants, make sure to try sauerkraut, the local stew (baeckeoffe), or fleischschnacka (if you can pronounce it) – rolled pasta stuffed with meat.
When you’ve explored the wonders of Alsace, count on your campervan or motorhome to take you across the borders. In Germany, the Black Forest is only an hour away. From Mulhouse, quickly reach Zurich or Interlaken, then continue towards the country’s highest peaks.
