Description of the route

(S/E) Start in front of Triembach-au-Val Town Hall. With your back to the town hall, head to the right.

(1) At the village hall, turn right onto Rue Saint-Gilles. Walk through the housing estate (Rue du Silberberg).

(2) At the end, take the path slightly to the right. Follow this path to a junction, then turn right for 50 metres to reach Route du Sauloch.

(3) Turn left onto this road towards the Sauloch restaurant.

(4) At the junction, turn right onto the forest track towards the “Stèle de l’aviateur” (Saint-Pierre-Bois forest track).
Continue along this forest track for quite a while, ignoring all other tracks to the right and left, until you reach the Ungersberg forest track.

(5) Take the hairpin bend to the left and follow this road, leaving two roads on your right.

(6) At a Y-junction, take the road on the left towards Albé (ignore the path further to the left). Follow this road downhill to the holiday village of Albéville.

(7) Opposite, take the track leading to Albé aerodrome.

(8) Head down onto the county road, then continue for about 300 metres.

(9) Take the track on the left which leads to Albé via the hills.

(10) In Albé, rejoin the county road to the left (towards Villé).

(11) After leaving Albé, turn onto the track on the right to reach Villé via Rue du Beau Regard.

(12) In the village, take the main road to the left (D424).

(13) At Place de la Gare (sports shop), turn left into Rue du Soleil. At the top of the street, you’ll find a path on the right.

(14) Follow this to return to Triembach-au-Val (S/E).

Not necessarily – you can rejoin the route at point 2 and head up the ‘Route forestière des châteaux’ to point 11. From there, you can either return via the ‘Route du sel’, or head up to Neubois via the RD and rejoin the other route at point 3 towards La Vancelle. Have a good think about it!

Hello,
Yes, I looked at it this morning and I’m currently preparing for my next outing. However, I’ll definitely be driving as close as possible to Triembach-au-Val.
Thank you.

Hello Papoucdl67,
Thank you for trying out this mountain bike route. If you’re coming via the Huhnelmuhl cycle path, you can also do the “Triembach Au Val via Bernstein” route, and if that’s too short for your liking, combine it with a return via the “cycle routes between Villé and Châtenois”.
Enjoy your rides in the Villé Valley!

I can confirm that this is a route for occasional exercisers; perhaps a little short for my liking, but enjoyable as it’s mostly through woodland. The elevation gain is reasonable and not particularly challenging. I set off from Sélestat, passing through Scherwiller (via the Huhnelmuhle), making it a 47 km route; the final stretch before Albé takes you along a gravel track, which isn’t really necessary as you can also reach the village via the road. I should point out that I ride a Lapierre e-bike.

Yes, this is a route designed for occasional cyclists looking for a nature trail that isn’t too physically demanding. There’s something for everyone!
For those looking for proper, challenging mountain bike trails, there are seven marked routes in the Val de Villé, with a guide map available from the Villé Tourist Office: https://www.tourisme-valdeville.fr/formu...

Nice bike, but it’s more of a hybrid than a mountain bike
