Aviso de Viaje
During the Christmas markets, especially on weekends, cities like Strasbourg and Colmar can be extremely busy; It is essential to reserve accommodation many months in advance. Many of the mountain roads in the Vosges, such as the Route des Crests, may be closed in winter due to snow. To visit the great champagne cellars, it is almost always necessary to book the visit in advance.
