The Winter Pass is the ideal tourist pass for exploring Alsace during the winter season and its Christmas markets : one free entry (one per site and per Pass) to each of the 43 partner sites open in winter, from mid-November to March (the number may vary depending on the period). Perfect for a holiday in Alsace between November and March!
How does the Winter Pass work?
It works just like the 3-day Pass’Alsace: 3 days of visits, consecutive or not, to use within 14 days of first use:
Your first day starts at your first scan (calendar day, midnight to midnight).
Consecutive or not — plan around your mood or the weather.
Your 3 days of visits can be used over 14 days from your first visit.

Check before you go
The list is given for guidance only and may vary depending on the period: some sites are open in November and December, then close until March (the Alsace Ecomuseum, for example). They remain accessible with the Winter Pass, but only during their opening periods. Before setting off, check the opening times on each site’s page — or contact our team, who will be happy to advise you.
Good to know: the Winter Pass can also be used later in the year, in summer, but it only gives access to the sites listed above.

The Batorama option with the Winter Pass
Visiting Strasbourg during your winter stay in Alsace? Don’t forget to add the Batorama option for just €5 more: a guided boat tour with commentary to discover the city’s history from the water.
How to book your time slot: during your Pass’s validity, go to the Batorama shop in central Strasbourg, opposite the Cathedral. You can also book by email at [email protected], stating your Pass’Alsace numbers, preferred day and time, postal address, email and phone number.
Good to know: validating Batorama counts as one day of visits — so make the most of that day with other visits too!
Please note: don’t go straight to the quays without having booked your slot!
