Your private driver
in Ottrott

Ottrott is one of the few villages in Alsace whose reputation rests on a red wine: the Rouge d'Ottrott, a Pinot Noir worked here for centuries. Mont Sainte-Odile stands within its commune, and two medieval castles rise side by side above the vines. Elsass VTC drives you there from Strasbourg, Obernai or the airport — and waits for you during the tasting.

Why choose a private driver

Why choose a private driver in Ottrott?

The mountain road, without driving it
The climb to Mont Sainte-Odile from Ottrott is a succession of bends through the forest, and the summit car park fills up quickly at weekends and on public holidays. Your chauffeur drops you at the convent and comes back to collect you at the agreed time: no road to drive, no space to find.
A tasting that stays a tasting
The Rouge d'Ottrott is tasted at the village winegrowers. With a chauffeur waiting outside, no one at the table has to count their glasses or watch the time for the journey home.
Ten minutes from Obernai
Ottrott is about 10 minutes from Obernai and 30 minutes from Strasbourg. The village fits naturally into a wider day: the mountain in the morning, the village and its wine cellars in the afternoon, Obernai for dinner.
The essentials

The essentials of Ottrott

The Rouge d'Ottrott
The Rouge d'Ottrott is an Alsatian Pinot Noir produced on the village slopes. In a region almost entirely turned towards white wines, it is a singularity — and the reason many visitors come here rather than elsewhere on the Wine Route. The wine cellars mostly receive by appointment.
The two castles of Ottrott
Lutzelbourg and Rathsamhausen rise side by side above the village, two medieval ruins a few steps from one another — a rare configuration in Alsace. Access is on foot from the village, along a forest hiking trail.
Mont Sainte-Odile, in the commune
The convent, the Mur Païen and the panorama over the Alsatian plain lie within the communal lands of Ottrott, about 15 minutes by road from the village. It is the spiritual high point of Alsace, and the most visited site in the département.
Les Naïades
The Naïades aquarium, housed in a former village spinning mill, offers a covered route — the stop that saves a rainy afternoon, especially with children.
The village and its tables
Ottrott has several well-known hotel-restaurants, some with a spa attached. Your chauffeur drops you there and picks you up again, including late in the evening.
A base for the massif
Le Struthof and the Champ du Feu are about twenty minutes from Ottrott. Our hourly disposal lets you link these sites in the same day without going back through the plain.
