Mountain-biking in the Ardennes
The region has a relatively high percentage of unpaved roads (a tour by car around the forest behind Arbrefontaine takes you on a 25 km drive minimum).
These unpaved roads that are used by farmers and foresters, take the mountain biker away from traffic to places that are ruled by nature and silence.
The touristic association Tarpan made 9 signed routes in the communities of Lierneux and Vielsalm, that in turn have signed connecting routes.
Routes vary between 12 and 52 km, but you can link them to any length to fit your ambition. But please include in your ambition that each route goes up and down some 300m (1000ft) at least one time, but more often several times.
There are no restaurants on the way (only in Vielsalm and Baraque de Fraiture), so take your own food and drinks with you, of ask us the evening before your hike to prepare you a good picnic for €12 p.p.
Hunting
Attention! During the hunting season some hikes are closed.
As soon as they are published, you can find overviews by this link with a map of Lierneux.
If you let me know in advance which hike you would like to do, I will check for you if the hunters will block your plans.
The same time of year, you can expect our cook to include game in his menus.
