Departure from Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) (Haut-Rhin)
A leisurely second stage, apart perhaps from the total distance. It takes place mainly in the shade on mostly flat paths. You’ll pass beneath the Petit Brézouard and give the Grand Brézouard a wide berth – as it is a wildlife sanctuary – before heading directly to Le Haïcot and then on to the Col des Bagenelles.

Departure from Turckheim (Haut-Rhin)
Viticulture is an integral part of the Alsatian landscape. There is even a route named after it. This route is the third stage of the vineyard trail and links Turckheim to Ribeauvillé. There are numerous vantage points, indeed they are almost everywhere outside the villages. The villages themselves are very traditional, with pretty half-timbered houses, and possess an undeniable charm. The region’s heritage is equally well represented.
