Sorry if this question seems silly.
We are going to Strasbourg at Christmas this year. We are wondering if it generally snows in Strasbourg at Christmas Time. Where would the nearest towns be where it might snow? (We%26#39;re Australians from Sydney so the concept of snow at that time is very exciting).
Thanks in advance.

Generally you can%26#39;t guarantee snow in Strasbourg - basically Alsace is in a bit of a valley so it%26#39;s less likely to have snow on the ground. Nearby though there are 2 good options. In the Vosges mountains in France there are ski resorts such as Gerardmer and La Bresse which are about 90 minutes drive from Strasbourg and also in the Black Forest in Germany there are many ski areas, I don%26#39;t really know them but Freiburg is a good base to explore them from, probably you want to hire a car to be flexible even though public transport is very good.

We were in strasbourg last dec 23, 2007 and the weather in the night time was bit cold. We arrived strasbourg around 12midnight and the temp was -3C degrees. but in the the day time, it was 3-7C degrees. It was very festive since christmas markets where everywhere. We went to a town in germany called kEHL AND SNow WAS everywhere there. its just a couple of minutes from strasbourg. Take the tram d to astrid briand stop. from astrid, take the bus 21 for kehl. Its around 10 minute drive from astrid briand, strasbourg. Its just the border. You can use your day ticket for the bus also. At least you can say you got to step into germany:) Its very cold in kehl and you can get back to strasbourg anytime since buses runs every 30 minutes.
