Hiking and outdoor activities in the Ardennes
Around Celles and Houyet, the Belgian Ardennes unfold one of the finest trail networks in Wallonia — enough to fill several stays without ever walking the same path twice.
400 km of waymarked trails
The local walking network links forests, valleys and characterful villages. The first trails start just a few minutes' walk from the cottage, suited to families and more sporty walkers alike.
Kayaking down the Lesse
The nearest launch point is 3 km from the cottage. A refreshing paddle between cliffs and forests, family-friendly from May to September depending on water levels.
Golf at Château d'Ardenne
The Royal Golf Club du Château d'Ardenne offers an 18-hole course in an outstanding wooded setting, about fifteen minutes away by car.
Cycling the Ravel
The former railway lines converted into cycle paths (the Ravel network) safely connect Dinant, Ciney and the Lesse valley, away from traffic.
