Hotel Le Colombier

From the outside, the hotel has that classic Alsace charm: timber-framed buildings, cobbled streets, and colourful shutters that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. Inside, things are modern and calm—the reception is sleek and friendly, and the lounge areas give you a peaceful space to sit back and reset before or after your race days.

Breakfast is included with your stay, and they don’t cut corners. You’ll find a generous buffet each morning with fresh bread, eggs, fruit, and local specialities—great for fuelling up before a long day on the trails or recharging after. Plus, you’re right in town, so it’s easy to explore Obernai’s restaurants and cafés for lunch or dinner.

There’s a small indoor wellness area with a sauna and hammam—perfect for recovery, especially after a long day on the course. While there’s no full gym here, this space gives you what you need to warm down gently and stretch out sore muscles.

If you prefer fresh air, the hotel has a lovely garden courtyard—quiet, leafy, and ideal for sipping a post-run drink or doing some light mobility work outside. It’s also a nice bonus if you’re travelling with anyone not racing, as it offers a peaceful escape while you’re out on the trails.

The rooms are stylish and well-kept, with everything you need for rest and recovery: quality bedding, blackout curtains, air conditioning, and soundproofing to help you sleep soundly. There’s also a kettle for tea, a minibar, and a workspace if you need to check in with real life at any point.
