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.

Baelen : walk around the village

A 4.7km walk during which it will be difficult to leave the view of the spired bell tower of the church of Baelen. The hilly nature of the walk makes it easy to discover the highest point of Baelen and offers spectacular views of the countryside. Children will enjoy this walk as they will come across cows, donkeys, chickens, goats and horses along the way.
