ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER

No matter if it rains or snows, holidays are still holidays!

The Guebwiller valley enjoys a drier climate than the national average thanks to the protection of the Grand Ballon. In fact, rainfall from the west falls on the Vosges mountain range, protecting the valleys to the east of the mountain from bad weather. The town of Colmar, a few kilometres from Guebwiller, is one of the driest towns in France!

Whether it’s a heat wave, rain or snow, you will always find an suitable activity in the Guebwiller region!
