Description

Along one of the most popular and recognized trekking routes in Europe, I would like to help you see the beauty of the Ardennes, from Houffalize to La Roche.

Spanning approximately 39 km, during this 3 day hiking adventure, you will get to see a long list of fantastic Belgian highlights. You will get to immerse yourself in nature and gaze at breathtaking landscape. And in the evenings you will get to rest and relax in a comfortable 3 star hotel.

On this independent trip, you will be provided with all of the navigational tools necessary to follow the amazing path that will take you from Houffalize to La Roche.

On the first day of hiking, you will trek from Houffalize to Nadrin. During this hike you will get to trek through a forest and walk through the Nabiselle valley. You will then pass the village of Bonnerue and see the Nisramont Dam before reaching Nadrin, where you will spend the night.

On the following day, you will make your way to the village of Berismenil. You will then hike down to the hamlet of Maboge and on to Borzee. Afterwards, you will continue on through the valley to La Roche, which you can explore and enjoy. You can then return to Houffalize if you wish.

The trekking route from Houffalize to La Roche is recognized by Europe’s leading quality trails, and the reputation is well deserved. It is a fantastic route, and I have no doubt you will have a great time hiking on it. If you wish to enjoy it, just send me a request.

I also offer a 3 day hike through the Ourthe valley as well.

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!
