Program & Itinerary
Private Escape from Strasbourg
Experience the enchanting beauty of Alsace on a private half‑day trip from Strasbourg to Obernai and Mont Sainte Odile, with hotel pickup, drop‑off and a dedicated English‑speaking guide. Travel in a comfortable, air‑conditioned minivan as you leave the city behind and follow scenic roads through vineyards and rolling hills.
Obernai: Storybook Alsatian Village
Your first stop is Obernai, one of the most charming towns on the Alsace Wine Route, known for its cobbled streets, colorful half‑timbered houses and medieval ramparts. As you wander the historic center, your guide points out landmarks such as lively market squares, ornate fountains and centuries‑old townhouses that showcase traditional Alsatian architecture. You’ll have time to stroll at your own pace, capture photos and soak up the atmosphere of a
village that perfectly combines local life, wine heritage and picture‑perfect views.
Mont Sainte Odile: Panoramic Sanctuary
From Obernai, the road climbs through forested slopes to Mont Sainte Odile, a famous monastery and pilgrimage site perched high above the plain. Here you can step onto panoramic terraces that overlook the vineyards, the Rhine valley and, on clear days, as far as the Black Forest, enjoying some of the most impressive views in Alsace. Your guide shares the legend of Saint Odile and introduces the site’s chapels, cloisters and peaceful walkways, giving you time to explore, reflect or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air.
A Seamless, Relaxed Experience
After your visit, sit back in the minivan for the return drive to Strasbourg, with more commentary, tips and local stories along the way. This private tour is designed to be unhurried and comfortable, combining Obernai’s village charm with the natural drama of Mont Sainte Odile, so you can experience two very different faces of Alsace in just a few memorable hours.

Additional information
This private Obernai & Mont Sainte Odile tour is ideal for curious adults who want a gentle, immersive introduction to Alsace’s villages and landscapes in just a few hours. It’s especially suited to couples, small groups of friends, and first‑time visitors based in Strasbourg who enjoy cobbled streets, local history and scenic viewpoints more than checking off lots of sights. Because there is some uphill walking and uneven ground, it works best for guests with good basic mobility who appreciate combining a charming wine‑route town with the calmer, spiritual atmosphere and panoramic views of a hilltop sanctuary.
