Christmas treasure hunts in Alsace

Come and have fun with your family as you discover the magic of Christmas and Alsatian heritage in an unusual way!



From Tuesday 24 November to Sunday 4 January, the tourist offices and participating partners invite you to have fun searching for ‘treasures’ in the atmosphere of an Alsatian Christmas. These treasure hunts are trails that you can follow on foot at your own pace, simply armed with a game booklet!


The 60 trails on offer this year take between 30 minutes and 1½ hours to complete. Go to the starting point of your chosen treasure hunt and follow the instructions carefully as they guide you around the town in search of a ‘treasure’. Look for the answers to the riddles to solve the mystery.


Of course, older children can help younger ones!


Once you have found the treasure, return to the location indicated at the end of the trail to announce your discovery. Your game booklet will be stamped and you will receive a reward!


Please note: you can do the treasure hunts whenever you like, but rewards must be collected during the opening hours of the locations indicated at the end of the trail.


The game booklet is on sale for €2 at tourist offices and partner outlets.
