New Year’s Eve in the Ardennes

Where do you want to spend New Year’s Eve? And with whom? Friends? Family? Take advantage of the opportunity and take off for a week in the Belgian Ardennes. Escape from the daily rush and enter the New Year with the people you love. And with the people who love you.


The Belgian Ardennes, that’s enjoying nature and fresh air during winter time. The chances of having a white Christmas is, obviously, higher in the Ardennes than elsewhere.

Gourmet

The holidays are inextricably linked with delicious food. On the culinary level the Ardennes have an excellent reputation to defend. Enjoy the haute cuisine together with your loved one, your friends or family in one of the Michelin star restaurants in the region.

Or go look for the best local food products from Liège, Luxembourg or Namur. Syrup, ham, cheese and beer are the best known. But the list is much longer and too extensive to review in its entirety.

Feel like treating yourself during the holidays? Ardennes-Etape selected the very best self-catering holiday cottages in Wallonia. Many of these are equipped with an excellent kitchen. So whether you want to start cooking yourself together with friends, family or as a couple, an Ardennes-Etape holiday home is the perfect place.

Fire place or sauna

Many of the 1,200 holiday homes have an open fireplace. What is cosier than sitting together around the fireplace when it’s snowing outside?

Another option is a sauna session. You will find a sauna and/or a Jacuzzi in many of the four or five star holiday homes. What else can you wish for to relax completely?

Activities

Baraque Fraiture in the province of Luxembourg is the place to be during winter time for skiers and snowboarders. The High Fens are the ideal spot for cross-country skiing. The plateaus in the Belgian East Cantons are perfect to slide through on a pair of skis.

On www.Ardennes-Neige.be you can read a daily update on the snow situation in the field. The website tells you which ski slopes are open, where you can go snowboarding, how much you pay for your equipment, if there are lockers present, if you can buy a drink or a snack...

Perfect New Year’s destination

This makes the region of the Ardennes the perfect New Year’s destination. Breath-taking nature together with fresh air, perfect for long hikes. Skiing and cross-country skiing followed by a drink, because that’s how it goes with winter sports. The very best fine foods or home cooking with delicious local ingredients.

And all this together with the people you love. Have a look on the Ardennes-Etape website for holiday cottages available for New Year’s.
