Hotels near Kaysersberg and the Alsace Christmas Shuttles

Kaysersberg, a medieval wine village below a ruined castle, hosts one of the most charming Christmas markets in Alsace. The 2026 market runs from 27 November to 20 December, with stalls filling the narrow streets of the old village around its fortified bridge.

During the same period, Christmas shuttles (Navettes de Noël) run from Colmar station to the Christmas markets of nearby villages, making it easy to visit without a car. Other popular stops include Eguisheim, Riquewihr and Turckheim, each with its own small market.

The shuttles avoid the parking problems that affect the wine villages on busy weekends. Kaysersberg is also the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer.

Pro Tip: Take the Christmas shuttle on a weekday and combine Kaysersberg with a second village such as Eguisheim. Check the Colmar tourist office website for the 2026 shuttle timetable and fares.
