Description
The Les Hautes Fagnes, otherwise known as the High Fens, in eastern Belgium is a beautiful place. The natural landscape of the highlands is nothing short of gorgeous. The area also makes up the largest natural park and reserve in the entire country. The highest point in the country, the Signal de Botrange (694m) also rests within the Les Hautes Fagnes, further adding to its beauty.
On this weekend adventure, you will have the chance to hike through this magnificent part of Belgium. We will be covering close to a total of 45 kilometres, so participants should be physically able to walk at least 20 kilometres a day, but there will be no shortage of great sights and subsequent memories. There are rivers and waterfalls on the trails we will trek upon. The trails are wide at points and narrow at others. There will even be some climbing as we make our way to the highest parts of the country!
The trip will begin on a Saturday morning. We will head north on clay trails toward the Les Hautes Fagnes plateau. We will walk for approximately 20 kilometres before returning to the hostel, where we will spend the night.
On the Sunday we will head west. We will walk for approximately 25 kilometres. Throughout the day, on much steeper and smaller trails than the previous day, we will descend into the Warche valley until we reach the beautiful Reinhardstein castle.
Hiking through the Les Hautes Fagnes is a fantastic experience. This weekend trip offers anybody who experiences it a great opportunity to see the natural beauty of the area. Also, because you will be walking for over 40 kilometres in just 2 days you will get some great exercise as well. So come, send me a request, and enjoy this amazing hike. I would love to guide you.
I also offer more fast paced, 3 day trail running adventure through Engreux in Wallonia.

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!

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!

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.
