Closest / Nearest airport to Colmar 

The closest and nearest international airports to fly to Colmar are definitely Zurich Airport and Frankfurt Airport.

If you are travelling from Europe, click on the tab « European Airport », you will probably find a flight to a nearest and smallest airport like Strasbourg, Euroairport Basel/Mulhouse etc. 

Zurich-Kloten International Airport, the closest / nearest airport to Colmar.

As one of Europe’s major hubs, Zurich Airport offers excellent international flight options. Zurich Airport is the closest / nearest airport to Colmar for international travelers. It’s well-connected with major cities across the globe, including North America, Asia, and the Middle East, making it an ideal entry point for international travelers heading to Colmar. Zurich Airport is renowned for its efficient design, cleanliness, and modern facilities. Zurich’s smaller size and well-organized layout make it easier to navigate, and the distance to Colmar is shorter from Zurich than from Paris, cutting down on travel time. Sometimes it’s more expensive to flight to Zurich Airport than flighting to Frankfurt Airport, so I suggest you to compare to choose the best option 🙂

Distance : 160 KM
Driving time : 2h00

Impossible to list all the flight but here is some major international city with a direct flight to Zurich Airport (Non-exhaustive list):

Flight from USA to Zurich Airport

Most of the destinations are flight by United Airlines/American Airlines/Delta, but also check the Swiss Airline « Edelweiss »

Boston, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New-York Newark, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tampa, Washington

Flight from Canada to Zurich Airport:  Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto  

Flights from Asia to Zurich Airport: Hong-Kong, Mumbai, Singapore

Flight from Middle East to Zurich Airport: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha

My Tips: Between Zurich airport and Colmar, you will have to cross the Switzerland border and custom. A lot of Alsatian and German are going to work in Switzerland and cross the Switzerland border on weekdays. This traffic jam can affect you during rush hour (06:00am to 08:30am and 04:30pm to 06:30pm). If your transfer is during rush hours, I advise you to schedule an extra hour and in case of traffic jams, you will be calm.

Frankfurt International Airport, the second closest / nearest international airport to Colmar

Frankfurt Airport is connected to a wide range of destinations across the globe. If the price of your flight to Zurich Airport is very expensive, check if you can find a better offer to Frankfurt Airport. The transfer between Frankfurt Airport and Colmar is 1 hour longer than the transfer between Zurich Airport and Colmar. But if you save 300EUR per person with a cheaper airline ticket to Frankfurt Airport, why not 🙂 Whether you’re coming from North America, Asia, you can easily find a direct flight to Frankfurt, making it an ideal gateway for international travelers heading to Colmar.

Distance :  300 KM
Driving time : 3h15

It’s just impossible to list all the flights but here is some major international city with a direct flight to Frankfurt Airport (Non-exhaustive list) :

Flight from USA to Frankfurt Airport

Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New-York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Washington

Flight from Canada to Frankfurt Airport:  Halifax, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto  

Flights from Asia to Frankfurt Airport: Beijing, Delhi, Hong-Kong, Mumbai, Singapore, Taipei 

Flight from Middle East to Frankfurt Airport: Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha

Usually these flight are arriving in Frankfurt Airport on morning. 

My Tips: The border between Germany and France don’t have any custom check. But Frankfurt is a big city and the motorway to access to the airport can be crowded on rush hour during weekdays (06:30am to 08:30am and 04:30pm to 06:30pm). Remember that if your transfer is during rush hours, I advise you to schedule an extra hour. In case of traffic jams, you will be calm. 

Between Frankfurt airport and Colmar, if you are not to tired after your flight, why not enjoying a stop in the charming city of Heidelberg in Germany? Program 3 hours to go to visit the Castle, the city center and having a snack. 

Paris Charles de Gaulles Airport 

Remember that our region of Alsace is on the edge of France, on the border with Germany. The nearest and most convenient airports to fly to are not in … France. Paris Charles De Gaulle airport is far away although there is a high speed TGV train connection to Strasbourg and some of them are directly going to Colmar. Otherwise, if you decide to drive or book a transfer (even with me), you will have a 6 hours drive in front of you. 

Distance : 530 KM
Driving time : 5h30 non stop 

So to me, even if Paris is the capital of France, Paris Airport is not the closest airports to fly to Colmar. Of course if you are planning to combine a stay in Paris before or after your stay in Colmar, Paris airport remains in the loop.

If you are traveling from Europe, you will of course find a flight to Zurich and Frankfurt Airport. But Maybe you can find a closest and nearest airport to Colmar. 

Euroairport Basel/Mulhouse, the Closest / Nearest European airport to Colmar

EuroAirport is an international airport located in France near the borders Germany, and Switzerland. It offers a wide range of flights to various destinations in Europe and beyond. Especially with the airlines Easyjet. 

Distance : 60 KM
Driving time : 1h00

My tips: A lot of Alsatian are going to work in Switzerland and cross the Switzerland custom/border. This traffic jam can affect you early morning (06:00am to 08:30am) when you want to access to Euroairport. Program a bit of extra time if you want to be calm.

After luggage claim, if your final destination is Alsace… When clearing customs, make sure you choose the exit marked FRANCE and not SWITZERLAND.

A last personal advice: try to avoid to take a flight which arrive in Euroairport after 11:00pm. There is an agreement with the citizen who lives in the nearby villages of the airport. It’s forbidden for airlines to land after midnight. In case of delay, you late evening flight will probably be cancel. It happenned to me and my girlfriend on an Easyjet flight from Nice (south of France) to Euroairport in April 2024. We supposed to land at 11:30pm in Euroairport. First they announced 1 hour of delay before cancelling completely the flight. We stay blocked in Nice.

Strasbourg Entzheim Airport

Strasbourg Airport has international flights, mainly to other European cities. If your flight to Euroairport Basel Mulhouse is very expensive, try to check if you can find a flight to Strasbourg Airport.

Distance : 70 KM
Driving time : 1h00 

In recent years, Strasbourg airport has been developing well. Thanks in particular to the airline Volotea, several destinations are directly connected to Strasbourg.

Barcelona, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma de Majorque in Spain. Olbia, Palerme and Rome Fiumicino in Italy. Athenes and Corfou in Grece. Split in Croatia. Marrakech in Marrocco. London Gatwick. Faro in Portugal. Berlin in Germany. All these destinations are directly connected with Strasbourg Airport with Volotea.

From Strasbourg Airport you can easily take a train and reach Strasbourg City in 10 minutes. Then, there is a lot of connection to Colmar. Several trains per hours, not expensive and easy access. More details on the airport website.

My tips: If you plan to drive from/to Strasbourg airport to Colmar beware of traffic jams during rush hour (07:00am to 09:00am and 04:30pm to 06:00pm)  

Stuttgart Airport

I put this airport on the list because Stuttgart Airport is famous. But honestly I don’t suggest you to flight to Stuttgart if you want to visit Colmar. You will surely find the same flight from your place to Euroairport Basel Mulhouse, Strasbourg Entzheim or Zurich Airport. Choose Stuttgart Airport only if you want to visit Stuttgart before your stay in Alsace.

 Distance : 230 KM
Driving time : 3h00

My tips: From years ago there’s roadworks on the motorway which could cause major traffic jams. Airlines suggest being at the airport 2 hours before the flight. I advise you to schedule 1 hour more. You will arrive 3 hours before the flight and in case of traffic jams you will be calm. 

Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airpark

This airport is in Germany and serves various low-cost airlines. It provides a range of international and European flights. Most of the flight to Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airpoark are with the low-cost airline Ryanair. Karlsruhe Baden-Baden airport is a good solution to visit Colmar if you have a Ryanair flight from your city. Otherwise I advise you to flight to Euroairport Basel Mulhouse.

Distance : 130KM
Driving time : 1H45

My tips: Beware of traffic jams during rush hour in Strasbourg (07:00am to 09:00am and 04:30pm to 06:00pm)
