Day Tour
Route des Crêtes — Vosges Ridge Tour
from €649 · approx. 5–6 hours · approx. 180–200 km · crossing the border into France
Our most ambitious France tour: up to the cheese-making village of Munster, then over the Col de la Schlucht onto the legendary Route des Crêtes — a panoramic road built in 1915 as a military route, running along the Vosges ridge at over 1,300 metres. Hairpin bends, wide-open views, and on a clear day a panorama reaching to the Alps.
