What is the weather going to be like?
Summer temperatures are usually warm with pleasant daytime temperatures(70F-80F). Belgium’s beautiful green landscapes and northern location mean that it can be hit with the odd cold spell and rain shower. Layers and a waterproof shell are recommended.

What are the daily rides like?

On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Bruges to the Ardennes is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Those who wish to ride every mile but are concerned about their physical ability may want to try our electric bike option–you still get a workout but can climb alongside even the strongest rider. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is varied with gentle forested valleys, rolling hills. The hills are generally short and steep. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.

What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?

On most Trek Travel trips, we offer non-riding options for riders who want to take the afternoon off, or travel companions who want to spend little or no time in the saddle. Some of these options may need to be scheduled before your trip–please contact one of our Trip Consultants for more information. Expenses and/or related transportation to these activities may not be included in the trip price. See Included In The Trip Price for more information.

Some non-riding options on this trip are:

• Explore immaculately preserved medieval towns
• Visit historic castles
• Go hiking and kayaking on the Ourthe river
• Artisanal brewery visit and beer tasting
• Mineral springs in the town of Spa
• Relax in spa and grounds of our sumptuous chÌ¢teau Le Manoir de Lebioles
