Description

The Anlier forest in the Ardennes of Belgium is a wonderful place to trek through. And for 3 days, I would like to provide you with a number of different options that will enable you to explore, and enjoy, this beautiful area.

Your 3 day adventure will begin at your comfortable B&B or hotel, depending on what you prefer. And what you prefer really is the theme of this trip as a whole. That is because the pace of our hike, the options you choose on your hike, are entirely up to you. To aid you, we will provide you with all of the information necessary to explore and see as much of the Anlier forest as you want.

For each day, you will be given two options as to how you wish to trek through the Anlier forest. There are the sport options, which range from 22 to 30 kilometers, and last from 5.5 to 7 hours, and there are the moderate options which range from 17 to 18 kilometers, and last approximately 4.5 hours. The sport options are perfect for people who want to really push themselves, and see a great deal, while the moderate options are ideal for people who prefer a more casual, less demanding pace.

The list of highlights you will get to see during this trip is varied and wonderful. Some examples include crossing the Anlier forest, approaching the Ramsar wetlands, and viewing the Grand Duchy and the Sûre.

Full of beautiful rivers, lush greenery and a calming atmosphere, the Anlier forest is a great place to hike through. And doing so with all of the freedom you want makes the adventure even better. To experience it for yourself, just send me a request.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides

Ruth

Explore Share has excellent customer service. Able to provide quick response to all my questions. They were able to find a good guide for me, Leo,who is very experienced in bouldering and knows Fontainebleau like the back of his hands. I strongly recommend any beginner to look for Explore Share if you wish to experience bouldering in Fontainebleau.

William

Best guided session ever! Léo was very experienced and knowledgeable and gave me the exact experience I was looking for!

Michael

We really enjoyed our Via Ferrata tour with Willie! He explained everything very well, from how to set up and use the equipment to what to expect during the climb. He explained in detail how the safety features work as well as what to be careful for in terms of falling and the dangers associated with them. And the dangers associated with them. We had a ton of fun, and my daughter who was afraid successfully completed the course as well as the shorter more challenging routes at the end. On top of everything, Willie took some really nice pictures of us! We would 100% hire him again to take us on another Via Ferrata or even just a regular climbing outing.

Nikola

Leo is a great person overall. He can share wast amounts of knowledge about the forest and the climbs. As an excellent teacher, he will help you enjoy the climbing session to the max!

Hannah

Our group had a great experience. Most of us were at Font for the first time so this was a great intro. The guide was helpful and even offered to drive us back to Paris rather than us having to take the train. Some coordination info on the website was unclear but I was able to chat with a representative online to get it sorted. Only regret was not signing up for the full day experience!
