Customer Reviews
This was an lovely wander from Vineyard to château to hilly forest and medieval village and small town. A combination of relaxation, good walks and moderate challenge. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming.
Route was beautiful, stunning scenery and interesting stops along the way. Hotels were all very good and the app worked brilliantly so we never get lost. Already planning next year's trip!
A wonderful experience which exceeded our expectations. The hike was varied through pretty vineyard trails, peaceful woodland paths and picturesque medieval villages. The local people were friendly and welcoming, accommodation was comfortable and the continental breakfasts were substantial for the day ahead. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore a beautiful region of France that is yet to suffer from over-tourism.
We really enjoyed are trip. Beautiful villages, lovely forest trails which was welcome relief as it was very hot on a couple of the days during our trek in early June 2025. Trip was rated as moderate which was correct, it was challenging at times with steep up hill climbs on rocky paths. A good level of fitness is required as indicated by them. We definitely earned and enjoyed the beautiful food and wine on offer in the Alsace. All our hotels were very clean and comfortable with a substantial continental breakfast on offer every morning.
My Alsace trip with UTracks was the highlight of my year!
