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.

What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides
Willem
Willie is a very kind and experienced person. We enjoyed our climbing with him.
Jo
Our family had a great time with Leo -- he was an all-around fantastic guide. He knew Font so well, he was able to identify the best problems for our group, down to the individual. He was safety-conscious while also being laid back and fun-loving. He was really great with our 10yo and 12yo kids, who have a lot of climbing experience but can definitely still use support and pointers. And he was also great with me (a beginner) and my husband (an expert). On top of all of it, he was fun to climb with, and we all loved watching him get a problem he'd not sent before. A really great day!
Diego
Had a great time! Only wish it was a little longer.
Will
Léo made boldering in the forest accessible while also finding appropriate challenges for us. We had a great time and came away better climbers.
Luz
Leo was super friendly and attentive to match the boulders we climbed with our skills level. I am a beginner and I felt comfortable and safe climbing some of the boulders. He also gave us technical advice. It was a great experience! If you don't have shoes they can also take you to the town shop to rent them for a very affordable price.
