A tourism property for sale in Haut-Rhin serves visitors who cross borders easily: Swiss, German, Belgian and Dutch travellers join French holidaymakers on the Alsace Wine Route, from Ribeauvillé to Eguisheim via Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Colmar. The department has two seasons and a third in December: summer hiking on the Route des Crêtes and in the Ballons des Vosges regional nature park, winter skiing in the Vosges resorts, then Advent, when Christmas markets fill hotels and holiday lets. Mulhouse and its technical museums, the Vauban fortress town of Neuf-Brisach, a World Heritage Site, and the ponds of the Sundgau add further reasons to stay.
This page covers the full range of Alsace tourism real estate: winstubs and hotel-restaurants in wine villages, farm inns on the high pastures, resort hotels and chalets, half-timbered winegrowers' houses turned into holiday lets, guest houses, valley campsites and glamping projects in the forest. It is written for investors, hospitality professionals taking over a running business and owners preparing to sell.
As of 25 September 2026, 1 tourism property in Haut-Rhin is listed on ma-propriete.fr (1 gîte), with an asking price of €955,000.
DVF data does not cover this department: in Alsace-Moselle, sales are recorded in the Livre foncier (land register) and are not published in the DVF database, so the regional figures apply.

Property sales in Haut-Rhin are recorded in the Alsace-Moselle land register (Livre foncier) rather than the DVF database, so benchmarks are regional. In Grand Est, country houses in tourist inland areas, which include the wine villages and Vosges valleys, rose by 14.6% between 2021 and 2025, well ahead of deep countryside (+7.4%). At the top of the market, large period homes in Grand Est sell for a median €550,000. A wine-village hotel or a house with several rental units in Haut-Rhin may exceed that figure, as old buildings on the Wine Route are scarce. Regionally, gîte properties dominate supply, ahead of hotels, inns and campsites.
Hospitality in Haut-Rhin is largely made up of family businesses. On the Wine Route, a village hotel usually combines rooms, a restaurant or winstub and sometimes a wine cellar; demand runs from spring to the Christmas markets and premises are expensive. In Colmar and Mulhouse, business travel and museum visitors provide steadier occupancy. In the Munster, Thur and Doller valleys, mountain hotel-restaurants and chalets live from summer hiking and winter skiing. Higher up, the ferme-auberge, linked to a livestock farm, serves hikers the traditional marcaire meal. You may buy premises only, premises together with the business, or the business alone under a commercial lease; goodwill is assessed on EBITDA.

A hotel sale covers the building, sold before a notary and entered in the Livre foncier, and the business (goodwill, trading name, contracts, equipment), which follows its own transfer formalities. Being open to the public (ERP), a hotel should hold an up-to-date safety commission opinion. The 1 to 5 star rating, valid for 5 years, must be current; serving alcohol requires a licence and an operating permit, and the licence transfer should be confirmed at the town hall. Furnished lets fall under the law of 19 November 2024 (loi Le Meur), which strengthens municipal powers. The Mountain Law restricts new building in the Vosges, and converting a barn requires planning consent for a change of use. The risk report may flag muddy runoff on cultivated and vineyard slopes, flooding of the Ill and Thur and seismic risk: the whole department, the Vosges included, is in a moderate seismic zone, and the Sundgau and Saint-Louis area in a medium seismic zone.
The price combines the value of the building, assessed against large period homes and the scarcity of wine-village property, and the value of the business, based on operating profit. A valley or Sundgau establishment costs less than a Wine Route hotel, for a shorter season.
In Haut-Rhin, the charter of the farm inn association reserves the name for established farmers who serve their own farm produce first, so the buyer must run a genuine farming activity. Otherwise, the business becomes a standard inn or mountain restaurant.
