    From Euro airport Basel/Mulhouse take the airport bus (line 50) to Bahnhof SBB (main train station Basel, ~20 min). From there take a train to Colmar (~every 30 min, travel time ~70 min).

    From Frankfurt airport take the train to Colmar either via Offenburg/Strasbourg (see above) or via Basel (see above) (in total ~3-4 hours, 2-3 changes).
