Program of your Kutzig daytrip

Departure from Colmar with the Kutzig, our red open-top bus (28 seats) on the Wine Route. You will stop first in Bergheim for a guided tour of the village. Bergheim is one of the few Alsatian towns to have preserved almost all of its 14th-century fortified walls. Within these walls are attached winegrowers’ houses dating from the 15th to the 17th century, as well as the old synagogue, the fountain with the town’s coat of arms, and much more…

Hair in the wind, you will continue to Ribeauvillé for a ride on the touristic train. An original and fun way to discover the town of Ribeauvillé, the city of minstrels, and the village and vineyard of Hunawihr.

Continue to the Vallée de Villé and have lunch in Sainte Marie-aux-Mines, in a green setting on the mountainside.

In the afternoon, you will visit the workshops of the Val d’Argent artisanal soap factory. In a renovated old chapel, the soaps rest under stained glass windows, giving the place a wonderful luminosity. Discover traditional craftsmanship combining know-how, love of plants, and respect for the environment.
