Description

In a place as beautiful as the Les Hautes Fagnes in Belgium, there are many different ways a person can enjoy it. For some people, the pleasure comes with taking your time and hiking through it. Thus giving you the chance to really absorb the surroundings. However, on this weekend adventure, we will be trail running through a large portion of it.

Trail running is a great way to experience a wide reaching terrain. It allows you to see a great deal of the scenery, while also challenging you physically. And on this trip, you will have the chance to cover approximately 45 kilometres of area on 2 completely different trails. There will even be some climbing as we make our way to the top of the highest point in Belgium, the Signal de Bortrange (694m) at the end of the second trail.

There is a number of great highlights to be admired within the Les Hautes Fagnes area. Also known as the High Fens, the area is full of rivers, forests, and lakes. There is also the beautiful Warche valley, which we will descend into on the first trail. And with each trail offering its own experience, challenges and personality, by the end of the weekend, you will feel as if you've enjoyed two adventures in one!

I believe trail running is a great activity anywhere. However, in a place like the Les Hautes Fagnes, the experience is even better because there is just so much to see and appreciate. So if you want to join me on this weekend adventure, all you have to do is send me a request. I would be more than happy to guide you.

Mountain Leader

Passionate about trail running, the outdoors and everything that nature provides to us, I got certified as a mountain leader by the Club Alpin Belge. I also work as a school teacher and devote my free time to my artistic pursuits.

Maps are another of my big passions. I collect them and spend hours looking at them and searching for the best itineraries in the Alps, the Andes, the Carpathians...and then I take you to explore them, running or walking.

My mission is to share with you the happiness that a high altitude lake can provide, the comfort that one can find in a rustic mountain hut and the excitement of walking along a mountain ridge. Looking forward to meeting you!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
