Europ’Aventure has been organizing inn to inn hiking trips in Belgium since 1985 with a primary focus on the Ardennes region. Based in Saint-Hubert, this local tour operator owns their own guest cottage (great center-based holiday for families) and they operate all of their self-guided itineraries in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. Some itineraries include mountain biking and cycling options. They also offer transport services, maps and guidebooks (to plan your own trip) and a great selection of trips in France (provided by trusted partners).
Review of Europ’Aventure Website
Europ’Aventure’s site is easy to navigate and translates well into several languages. It offers basic search filters by activity type (walk/bike), difficulty level and location. All of the important trip details are included except for lodging. We’d love to see some accommodation photos, either added to the site or posted on social media, because that is one of their biggest selling points. For those who wish to DIY, Europ’Aventure offers an affordable luggage transport service, listing the exact trails that they cover, and they sell maps and guidebooks in English.
