Description

The Les Hautes Fagnes, otherwise known as the High Fens, in eastern Belgium is a beautiful place. The natural landscape of the highlands is nothing short of gorgeous. The area also makes up the largest natural park and reserve in the entire country. The highest point in the country, the Signal de Botrange (694m) also rests within the Les Hautes Fagnes, further adding to its beauty.

On this weekend adventure, you will have the chance to hike through this magnificent part of Belgium. We will be covering close to a total of 45 kilometres, so participants should be physically able to walk at least 20 kilometres a day, but there will be no shortage of great sights and subsequent memories. There are rivers and waterfalls on the trails we will trek upon. The trails are wide at points and narrow at others. There will even be some climbing as we make our way to the highest parts of the country!

The trip will begin on a Saturday morning. We will head north on clay trails toward the Les Hautes Fagnes plateau. We will walk for approximately 20 kilometres before returning to the hostel, where we will spend the night.

On the Sunday we will head west. We will walk for approximately 25 kilometres. Throughout the day, on much steeper and smaller trails than the previous day, we will descend into the Warche valley until we reach the beautiful Reinhardstein castle.

Hiking through the Les Hautes Fagnes is a fantastic experience. This weekend trip offers anybody who experiences it a great opportunity to see the natural beauty of the area. Also, because you will be walking for over 40 kilometres in just 2 days you will get some great exercise as well. So come, send me a request, and enjoy this amazing hike. I would love to guide you.

I also offer more fast paced, 3 day trail running adventure through Engreux in Wallonia.

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!

Il y a juste deux petites semaines, j'ai participé à un weekend rando Trek Atout... Un superbe weekend ! Ok, la météo nous a fait un super cadeau : de la belle neige sur nos Fagnes! Mais tout de même, sans le "président" rien n'aurait été pareil ! Nous avons été accueillis comme des amis, Thibault nous a emmené sur des petits chemins et sentiers magnifiques, nous avons appris à jouer au whist, nous avons partagé l'apéro, Thibault nous a préparé une (demi)soupe sur un sol enneigé, nous avons échangé et beaucoup rigolé ! Je pourrais encore allonger la liste pour les non convaincus! ... Merci encore Trek Atout! (Depuis, je m'entraîne encore plus à la course à pied en espérant un jour faire un trail avec TrekAtout).
