 Belgian Ardennes
The Ardennes, situated in the south-east of Belgium, are one of nature's unspoilt areas, rich in fauna and flora, with vast forests of broadleaf and fir, hills and fast flowing rivers. Visitors can wander through the many picturesque villages nestling in the valleys where traditions and folklore still live on, and where the region's arts and crafts can be enjoyed.

Eupen is the seat of the Council and the German speaking community in Belgium and the official language in Eupen is High German, although Dutch was widely spoken in Eupen in the 19th century.
 Hoei / Huy [ dutch, french and english ]
Although Huy is first and foremost a 'daughter of the Meuse', the town also owes its existence to two confluences of the Meuse, the Mehaigne Hesbignonne and Hoyoux. In fact, this little brook, the Hoyoux, it would appear, gave the town its name. In the past, this rivulet also supplied the fresh water needed for the work of the wool and leather workshops and to drive the mills, the presses and the hammers to beat the copper, brass and iron. For tourists, Huy is a delightfully green and clean town. Why not discover it for yourself? We suggest you start by climbing up to the Fort and the Sarte. Here you will enjoy a rather extraordinary view of the Meuse, the town, its four wonders (Li Bassinia, Li Tchestia, Li Rondia and Li Pontia) and its monuments, not least of all the ornate Collegiate Church. Huy is therefore a place that offers so much that it takes more than one visit to see it all. After all, it is one of the oldest towns in Belgium. Here are some suggestions for ways to discover this town on the River Meuse with your family, whether you decide to go on foot, by boat, on a mini-train or by car…
 Malmedy - Ville de Malmedy
Various waters flow through the region, they meander through the fields or cascade down the mountains.  While wandering on footpaths the visitor is amazed by the enchanting landscape. An exceptional flora and fauna will surely interest the friend of nature as much as the scientist.
It's the first wealth to discover, the most beautiful, the most abundant. The forests, the meadows and the rivers are still preserved from pollution. The calm and the peace are the masters and they are a good chosen treatment to the tensions and problems that shake our everyday life.
Numerous foot and mountain bike promenades have been traced and marked for the tourism. They are printed on a hiking map edited by the tourist office of Malmedy. The nature clubs of Malmedy organise regularly guided hikes in the area. Finally you can discover the beauty of the region on a horseback or kayak certain rivers.
 Marchin
 Sankt-Vith
St.Vith is situated in direct proximity to the Formula 1 racing course Spa-Francorchamps and offers fine restaurants and accomodations starting with youth hostels to excellent hotels.
Assuredly an ideal region for resortgoers and vacationers. Its semi-moutainous altitude, its healthful climate, its easy access, the warm and welcoming ambiance of its villages, its large offer on apartments and camping sites, but above all its landscapes an environment, as well as its many cultural and sport events, make it a prime spot for tourism in Belgium !

The ski track of Wanne Valley is one of the most beautiful natural Belgian tracks in the Ardennes. A family track by tradition. Besides a pleasant restaurant which can easily harbour about 180 guests, the rustic open fire allows everybody to warm themselves while savouring a snack and a drink. On the vast terrace you can take complete advantage of an exceptional panorama on the ski slope and Stavelot's picturesque valley.
The track is about 1000 meters long over a height of 500 meters. The slope varies between 15 % and 30 %. It is equipped with two ski lifts which will bring you back up hill. Skis and ski boots can be rented here on site.
