From cheese valleys to the summits

The Munster valley tour takes you to meet the Vosges terroir, high-altitude pastures, and grand panoramas. In one day, you go from the gentle valley to the wind-swept ridges, without ever tackling mountain roads behind the wheel.

Moreover, this Munster valley tour blends gourmet delights with fresh air. Your driver knows the authentic farm inns and the lookouts of the Route des Crêtes where the view stretches to the Rhine plain and, on clear days, to the Alps.

Departing from Colmar, Munster, or Strasbourg, allow about five hours for this tour. The itinerary depends on weather and season: the Route des Crêtes may be snow-covered in winter, which your driver anticipates for you.

Finally, it's the ideal option for savoring Vosges gastronomy. You taste the Munster cheese and local specialties without worrying about the drive down. That's the comfort of entrusting the mountain to a driver who knows it.
