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!
