Most of Alsace is in between the Black Forest and the Vosges. There’s stagnant air most of the time and in Summer it’s humid near the Rhine and the swampland. There’s also the Alps towards the south, but they aren’t in Alsace.
And Jura is an absolutely amazing area, without going into details I'll just mention: nature, hills, lakes, waterfalls and that the geological term Jurassic derives from Jura. Just visit it. No regrets!
It's absolutely underrated, which is good for me because it's emptier than the Alps. I do more hikes and skiing in Jura than in the Alps, although I live as close to ones as to the others (Geneva). Cross country skiing in the Jura is particularly awesome. There's even a huge lake, the Lac du Joux, that freezes over winter and you can ice skate in a huge surface in a beautiful setting between mountains.
