Description

Bouillon, like several other parts of the Wallonia region of Belgium, offers some great natural areas that are perfect for trail running. On this trip, we will make our way through 3 different trails in 2 days spanning approximately 50 kilometres. Each trail is unique and possess its own highlights. We will make our way through forests. We will make our way across rivers. We will even make our way through one of the 3 trails at night!

Another big highlight of this trip is that on one of the trails, there is a vertical drop that involves a technical descent. Thus adding a challenging aspect to the trip. The drop is not mandatory however, so if you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to.

The first day will begin with all participants and guides meeting at noon. After that, we will depart for the first trail at 1 o’clock. We will then have some much needed dinner at 7 o’clock. And at 9 o’clock, we will enjoy the second trail. On the second day we will wake up early and have breakfast. And by 9:30 we will head out and enjoy the final trail of the trip. After that, we will enjoy a nice lunch at the lodging before the end of the weekend’s adventure.

It is important to note that because of the nature of this trip, participants should be in good physical condition. Also, participants should be able to run at least 20 kilometres per day at a steady 9 kilometre per hour pace.

The scenery of Bouillon is beautiful and the thrill of briskly making your way through it is unforgettable. If that sounds like the way you want to enjoy a weekend in Belgium, just send me a request.

I offer another trail running trip through Engreux, which is also in the Wallonia region.

Mountain Leader

Passionate about trail running, the outdoors and everything that nature provides to us, I got certified as a mountain leader by the Club Alpin Belge. I also work as a school teacher and devote my free time to my artistic pursuits.

Maps are another of my big passions. I collect them and spend hours looking at them and searching for the best itineraries in the Alps, the Andes, the Carpathians...and then I take you to explore them, running or walking.

My mission is to share with you the happiness that a high altitude lake can provide, the comfort that one can find in a rustic mountain hut and the excitement of walking along a mountain ridge. Looking forward to meeting you!

First of all our guide was not Thibault as communicated initially but Nathalie. Already when in contact with Thibault communication wasn't smooth, he only replied via the platform days after the message with very short info. I had asked several times more details about the activity but I never got them...the day before I got a message from Nathalie just giving practical tips about clothes, meteo etc I was told that we would have had orienteering challenges in teams but on the day the guide was sending instructions to get to a point via smartphone (only to me) which was quite useless because I was the only one trying to find a way. On the other hand if she wanted to do something with smartphones she would have warned us in advance so that all colleagues would have had an active one and for exemple she could have sent the messages in a chat with everybody in. Anyway the best would have been to print out for us simple maps/instructions like the ones she had. All this should have been discussed and agreed with me/us in advance...otherwise it would have been far more interesting a simple walk with a guide that knows the history and characteristics of a place and that could tell us something (this was an offered option) interesting.

The trip was fantastic. Beautiful scenery and landscapes together with majestic hills. We lived a camping lifestyle for two days which was very enjoyable and even though we were relieved to finish after a tough 2 day trek, we instantly missed the feeling of being in the outdoors and away from the city. Our guide Thibault was excellent. He was the perfect guide for the trip, so helpful and knew what he was doing - couldn’t ask for better.

Malgré une météo plus que mitigée, nous avons partagé en famille une belle journée bien préparée par Thibault. Le matin, randonnée sportive dans les bois de Villers-la-Ville, avec acquisition de quelques tiques pour les jambes nues ;-). Pause déjeuner dans un endroit réservé à l'avance par les bons soins de Thibault et adapté aux PMR. Puis, initiation au croquis au crayon gris, aquarelle ou fusain, avec les explications bienveillantes de Thibault. Commencée au sec puis prolongée à l'abri d'un magnifique chêne car la pluie était de retour. A nouveau, notre journée familiale a été très réussie. Merci à Explore-Share pour la qualité de ses propositions et des guides avec qui elle travaille.

A nouveau, ce fut une très chouette journée familiale. Nous avons apprécié Thibault et Nathalie (et leur adorable Sierra) qui nous ont imaginé un beau tour à vélo. Ils sont sympas et attentifs à ce que tout le monde suive. L'ambiance était décontractée et joyeuse. La distance était parfaite pour tous nos petits-enfants qui ont assuré. Le tour était adapté pour Inès, PMR, installée dans un buggy tirée par sa maman. Bon break le midi dans un restaurant spécialement ouvert pour nous. La journée s'est terminée par un jeu de piste bien préparé par Thibault. Merci pour cette organisation top (comme chaque fois).
