Unique experiences
Unusual Alsace can be discovered through experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing routes and offer a different way to experience the destination.
In the vineyards, a Segway tour provides an original way to explore wine-growing landscapes, travelling between villages and hillsides. For a more sensory experience, a dinner in the dark offers a unique moment where the senses are stimulated in a completely different way.
Visitors interested in heritage and traditions can take part in hands-on workshops, such as making traditional Alsatian pretzels, and discover the secrets behind this iconic local speciality.
For a different perspective, a hot air balloon flight offers breathtaking views over Alsace, with exceptional panoramas of vineyards, villages and the Vosges mountain range.
Surprising places to explore
Beyond its must-see attractions, Alsace is home to unexpected places that reveal another side of the region’s history and identity.
The Graufthal Rock Houses are among the most original curiosities in Alsace. Built directly into the pink sandstone cliff, these troglodyte dwellings bear witness to a way of life that has now disappeared and offer a timeless discovery in the heart of the Northern Vosges.
Alsace’s museums also offer surprising experiences, far from traditional museum visits. Remarkable collections, unique atmospheres and little-known stories provide a new perspective on the region’s culture and heritage.
Accommodation that becomes part of the experience
In Alsace, the journey begins with the accommodation itself. Treehouses, unusual stays surrounded by nature, themed accommodation or places steeped in history: these experiences extend the discovery and create unique memories.
These types of accommodation offer a different approach to travel, focusing on immersion, disconnection and a closer connection with the surrounding environment.
