Ribeauvillé is one of the most authentic medieval towns in Alsace — dominated by three castles perched on the Vosges ridges, crossed by alleys lined with half-timbered houses and surrounded by Grand Cru vineyards. Your Elsass VTC chauffeur takes you there from Colmar, Strasbourg or Barr for a complete immersion in Alsatian heritage, without parking constraints.
Direct access to the alleys without searching for parking.
Enjoy the wines without worrying about the return.
Price agreed in advance, no hidden costs.
Service available even on public holidays.
Girsberg, Saint-Ulrich and Haut-Ribeaupierre dominate the town from the heights. Your chauffeur drops you in the town centre and can pick you up at the end of the trails — no double trip to retrieve the car.
The Grand Cru vineyards of Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé and Osterberg surround the town with their clay-limestone terroirs. Local cellars offer tastings of Riesling and Gewurztraminer among the most representative of Alsace — to be enjoyed without the constraint of driving back.
Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr are 5 kilometres apart — the ideal duo for a half-day on the Route des Vins. An hourly hire allows you to combine both without wasting time on logistics.
The Pfifferdaj (first weekend of September) is one of the largest medieval festivals in Alsace — procession of musicians, costume parades and entertainment in the streets. During busy periods, your chauffeur handles all parking and access issues.
Ribeauvillé's market, one of the liveliest in Haut-Rhin, takes place on Saturday mornings along the Grand-Rue. Cheeses, wines, Alsatian charcuterie and local crafts — your chauffeur comfortably carries your purchases to the vehicle parked nearby.
EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (EAP) is about 55 minutes from Ribeauvillé. Elsass VTC provides airport transfers with flight tracking — ideal for starting an Alsatian stay directly upon landing.
Ribeauvillé is often presented as the town of the three castles — Girsberg (12th c.), Saint-Ulrich (12th-14th c.) and Haut-Ribeaupierre (12th c.) — three medieval fortresses watching over the Alsatian plain from the ridges. The town itself retains its almost intact medieval fabric: Renaissance fountains, 14th-century towers, a Baroque town hall and kilometres of cobbled alleys lined with colourful half-timbered houses.
Ribeauvillé holds a key position on the Alsace Wine Route, halfway between Colmar and Strasbourg. The Grand Cru vineyards of Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé and Osterberg, both with specific AOC, produce Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris that rank among the most representative of the Alsatian vineyard. The cellars are accessible on foot from the town centre — a considerable advantage for visitors who come to taste.
The best preserved of the three, accessible in about 45 minutes on foot from the lower town. Its square 12th-century keep and large Gothic hall offer an exceptional panorama over the vineyards and the Rhine plain.
More compact, accessible in 30 minutes. It offers a breathtaking view over the valley and surrounding vineyards.
The highest (642 m), reserved for experienced hikers. Elsass VTC can drop you at the start of the marked trail and pick you up at the finish.
