La Montagne des Singes is the Alsace outing children do not forget: a forest on the slope of the Haut-Kœnigsbourg hill, in Kintzheim, where more than 200 Barbary macaques live free. You walk along a path among the trees and the monkeys move around you, on the ground and in the branches.
What the visit is like
You walk a circuit through the forest where the monkeys live free, beside the path. There are feedings with commentary by the keepers about every 45 minutes, in which they explain how they live and how the group is organised. The average visit lasts about two hours. It is a walk through the forest: bring comfortable shoes and, if you have a baby, ask beforehand about the pushchair.
Season, opening hours and prices
The park opens in spring and closes in November. For 2027 it publishes: from 20 March to 31 August, from 9:30 to 17:30; from 1 September to 14 November, from 10:00 to 17:00, closed from 8 to 10 November. It may close some days because of strong wind, as on 25 October 2026.
In 2027 adults pay €12.50 at the ticket office or €12 online, and ages 5 to 14, €8.50 or €8. Under-5s go in free. There is a reduced rate of €10.50 for students with proof and €6 for people with disabilities. Dogs and other animals are not admitted.
Getting there
It is at 1 chemin de la Montagne, in the place called Wick, in Kintzheim, near Sélestat and below the Haut-Kœnigsbourg. You get there by car in a few minutes from the wine route. Combine it with the castle on the same day: monkeys in the morning and ramparts in the afternoon.
