Sports and leisure activities Belgium

Death-ride, quad biking, rope trails in the forest, hiking, kayaking, maze in the mine, laser game, bear hunting, karting, water ball, golf, treasure hunt, etc... It is difficult to list and detail all the activities offered by Adventure Valley Durbuy. The park has given itself a serious "youthful" look: new kayaks and bicycles, renovation of the chalets and holiday homes... always with an attentive eye on the relationship with nature with an educational project around Natura 2000. A new "adventure park" has also been created.

In the heart of Gaume, between hills, heritage, archaeological sites, soft and soothing landscapes, the swimming pool of Virton fits perfectly into this panorama to offer you all year round, a sporting, fun and friendly service for young and old. A 25-metre pool, a fun pool with a river and whirlpool, a learning pool and a paddling pool. The outdoor solarium area benefits from a lawn and a terrace with deckchairs. This aquatic complex is now considered as the most beautiful in the Province of Luxembourg.

In winter, when there's enough snow, you can go cross-country skiing in the Saint-Hubert area (ski and snowshoe hire on site). There are trails of varying difficulty all around the village of Champlon, as well as from the Saint-Hubert civilian airfield. An opportunity to discover the beautiful countryside and enchanting landscapes of snow-covered forests. For information on when the trails are open, contact the Syndicat d'Initiative Champlon-Tenneville or the Maison du Tourisme de la Forêt de Saint-Hubert.

Located near Brussels and in the heart of the valleys of Ittre and Nivelles, the golf course Château de la Tournette is regularly cited among the most beautiful golf courses in the world because it is dominated by a splendid 16th century castle. It offers three courses on a 160-hectare estate: two championship golf courses - the American and the English - and a beautiful compact course: the Orival, a 9-hole course that can be used for training or for beginners. In the heart of the club house, you can come and have a drink or lunch with a dish of local specialities.

Welcome to the roof of Belgium! Standing proudly at 694 meters, the Signal de Botrange and its tower are the high points of this cross-border park with Germany. It's also the starting (or finishing) point for hikes on the Hautes-Fagnes plateau. Walking on duckboards, you'll discover an open peat bog landscape which, when it's foggy, is even more mysterious. But the park also boasts fir forests, rivers and lakes, bike trails and even an alpine ski resort at Ovifat!

When a specialist, a snoop in search of the best wines for over 30 years, decides to open his own wine bar, you can only expect the best. Christophe offers a fine selection of his favorites, and the quality is top-notch. He'll know how to advise you so that your visit to this cosy nest in the center of Liège leaves you with unforgettable memories. In addition to the quality of the welcome and the wines on offer, we fell in love with the upstairs lounge, the perfect place to catch up on old times with a few mates and a few bottles from behind the scenes.

Aqualibi had a serious facelift a few years ago. From the locker rooms to the slides, everything has been redesigned. Adjacent to the Walibi Park, this immense pyramid in the middle of the 7,000 ^m2 park attracts thrill-seekers. The Xtreme and its vertiginous descent at 50 km/h awaits the most reckless. The Rapido River promises a lot of fun, as does the wave pool. In the Lagoon and its whirlpools, the atmosphere is more zen. The redesigned and extended children's area (now 700 m²) is aimed at the youngest children who are not yet swimming.

The origins of the Dodaine Park date back to the Napoleonic era, when Jean-Baptiste Dangoneau, mayor, had the marshes bordering the town developed as a promenade. In addition to its "French-style" layout and various sculptures, the park includes a vast expanse of water where fishing is permitted. The park features an English-style garden, a sports hall, a state-of-the-art indoor swimming pool, an athletics track, hockey, basketball and tennis courts, as well as a miniature golf course and a children's playground.

The Vélodrome Joyeux (Lustige velodroom), made entirely of wood, was built in 1933. It will delight children, and those who have stayed, but also two-wheeler enthusiasts, especially on the track. Everyone will be able to try out all kinds of bikes, in all sorts of unusual sizes and shapes. A unique seaside construction. More than 70 unique frames await you for family rides. Pleasure and fun guaranteed!

Golfing with a view of the Butte de Lion de Waterloo, if that's not class! Because this is one of the courses offered by this prestigious club (elected the best in Belgium in 2020 and also the most successful). The club offers three courses: the Marache, the Lion and the Bois-Héros, as well as a training course well suited to novices. This is the club in all its glory, with greens designed to the line and manicured as it should be. And after a short game, the club's restaurant, run by Hugues Mattagne, awaits you.

Year round, in fine weather, one hour balloon and 20 minutes by helicopter. Reservation required.
