The best hikes in the Ardennes with children
100% kid-friendly hikes
The Ardennes is an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts. Along the water, in the forest, on a plateau... there's plenty of choice! However, not all walks are necessarily suitable when it comes to introducing younger children to this activity. Trails that are too long or too steep can quickly become discouraging. That's why we have selected the best hiking trails in the Belgian and French Ardennes, perfect for family adventures and discovering the beauty of our region together.

Eglise de Clermont-sur-Berwinne

Clermont-sur-Berwinne, One of the most beautiful villages of Wallonia...
Surrounded by enclosed expanses of pastureland, the village stands at the summit of a promontory which dominates the church. The use of brick for the walls, slate for the saddleback roofs and stone for the frameworks of the windows and the right-angle quoins characterise the architecture of the whole village.To break up the simplicity of the buildings, decorative research has been applied to the slates. Windvanes dominate the roofs and bear witness to an art of ironwork brilliantly executed. Worth of seeing:• St-Jacques-le-Majeur church (17th-century) and its cemetery,• Place de la Halle• The Old Town Hall (1888), which goes over the main road, is today used as a registry office, so that one can say in Clermont "we marry in the street"• Stop on the pilgrim route to St James of Compostella, on the Via Mosana• Crawhez Castel• Clermont Castle• Ste-Anne chapel• Remember Museum 39-45
