Discover the Schweitzer Center in Kaysersberg, one of the most beautiful villages in Alsace, located just 15 km from Colmar, in the heart of the famous Alsace Wine Route. Renowned for its medieval castle, half-timbered houses, and rich heritage, this charming destination is also the birthplace of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Accompanied by Annie, your passionate guide, immerse yourself in the world of this great humanist and discover his legacy, his values, and his exceptional dedication.
The Schweitzer Center will officially open its doors on August 2, 2023, following a renovation of the former museum. This new facility will offer you a complete immersion in the world of Dr. Schweitzer, highlighting his life story, his humanitarian work, and his lasting influence.

OFFICE DE TOURISME VALLEE DE KAYSERSBERG
Once upon a time, there was our beautiful Kaysersberg Valley...
It stretches from the Alsace plain and the wine route to the Lac Blanc resort at the gateway to the Route des Crêtes. From wine-growing towns in the lower valley to mountain villages in the upper, this is a land of great diversity, shaped by its landscapes! On the vineyard side, you'll find picturesque Alsatian villages like Ammerschwihr, Katzenthal and Kaysersberg Vignoble.
The upper valley, on the mountain side, abounds with farms, inns and hamlets where Vosges cows graze in the mountain villages of Fréland, Labaroche, Lapoutroie, Orbey and Le Bonhomme. There are many hiking trails between ridges, stubble fields and mountain lakes, on foot or mountain bike, to suit all tastes. In winter, several kilometers of downhill and cross-country ski slopes at the Lac Blanc ski resort allow sports enthusiasts to enjoy the benefits of the mountains to the full!
An unforgettable holiday!
