WEATHER
- Spring (March to May) in Alsace is mild and fresh, with blooming flowers and green landscapes. Temperatures gradually warm up, but early spring can still be cool, especially in the mountains. It’s a great season for hiking, as the trails are quieter and nature is waking up.
- Summer (June to August) is warm and mostly dry, with average temperatures between 25°C and 30°C in the lowlands. It’s perfect for hiking, but afternoon thunderstorms can occur, especially in the Vosges.
- Autumn (September to November) brings cooler air and stunning colors in the forests and vineyards. The weather is often calm and dry in September, but becomes colder and wetter in late October and November.
ELECTRICITY
Europe is on a 220 Volt system . Check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items HERE
MOBILE PHONE & INTERNET
Please check that your mobile/cell plan allows for calls & messages abroad
A good option is to buy a “country Sim card” in a phone shop. It will cost you around 10€ / 15€ and will allow you to call local phone numbers with internet access

The currency is the €uro. Please ensure to have some cash with you as there aren’t always ATM machines in small villages.
