Enjoy a wonderful hike through lovely forest in the midst of autumn.

Description

Touching the nations of Luxembourg, France and Belgium, the Ardennes region is a gorgeous place. Filled with lovely hills and seemingly endless forests, the area is a dream for anybody who wants to explore nature at its most lush and placid.

On this wonderful weekend hike, I will take you deep into the Ardennes region of Belgium. We will meet and depart from l’Eglise of Houffalize at 9:15 am.

Because this trek takes place during the autumn season, you will get to see an array of stunning colors in the forest. And when you gaze at the rolling hills, it will be a sight of motion capture, as they will look like multicolored waves frozen in time. It is a sight to behold. Another great advantage of taking this hike during the autumn season is that is you will have the best chance to see the region’s beautiful deer. This is the time when they come out and mate. As a result, you will see and hear these wonderful animals at their most active. And to ensure you will get great views of them, we will have the aid of a bivouac located deep in the woods. Thus keeping our small group hidden enough to see the splendor of the Ardennes and its wildlife, without disturbing it.

Hiking through the Ardennes is a wonderful journey. And it would be my pleasure to guide you through it. So send me a request, and immerse yourself in a fantastic place.

Would you like to go on another hiking adventure in Belgium? Then join me on this 1 day trek through the Vallee de la Semois.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
