When we think of autumn holidays, the Belgian Ardennes is not always the first choice. Yet this region has everything to please: breathtaking landscapes, activities for every taste, and a unique atmosphere. So why not opt for a stay in the Ardennes this autumn?

Autumn: the best season to explore the Belgian Ardennes

Autumn reveals all the beauty of the Belgian Ardennes and makes it the best season to explore. The hills turn shades of red and orange, the forests become a perfect playground for discovery, and the villages take on a warm atmosphere. Far from mass tourism, it’s the perfect time to enjoy authentic hikes, admire the panoramas of the Ourthe Valley, or relax in a cozy chalet after a day in nature.

The Belgian Ardennes, a paradise for sports and nature lovers

The region is a true open-air playground where every sports enthusiast can find their happiness. Mountain bikers can enjoy varied trails through forests and valleys, while hiking and trail running reveal spectacular landscapes at every turn.

Enjoy the All Saints’ holidays with the family

Autumn holidays are the perfect time to get together and share unique moments with family. There are plenty of family-friendly activities in the Durbuy region. At Adventure Valley Durbuy, young and old alike can try the treetop adventure courses or brave the giant tubing slide. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, the vast indoor park guarantees hours of fun under cover. A perfect mix of fun and sporty activities to enjoy autumn with complete peace of mind, with experiences adapted to every member of the family.

Halloween at Adventure Valley Durbuy: an unmissable family experience!

From October 10 to November 1, Halloween takes over Adventure Valley Durbuy, which hosts the 2025 edition of Mystery Forest. Visitors are invited to a thrilling night walk through the park, filled with immersive décor, scare zones, and frightening encounters. New this year: the haunted house (paid activity), promising an unforgettable adrenaline rush for the bravest. With surprising settings, themed animations, and an enchanting atmosphere, Halloween at Adventure Valley Durbuy becomes a unique way to celebrate the autumn holidays differently.
