A walk marked with a Green Diamond, located south of Beaufays. It is a sure sign of the Ardennes, particularly when passing the summit of the "Côtes des Forges", well known to fans of the "Liège-Bastogne-Liège" race. Throughout, greenery dominates: hills, sunken lanes and local hamlets. At every turn, we brush past the hustle and bustle of civilisation, but the contrast with the calm of nature allows us to relax thoroughly.

A very beautiful walk on the outskirts of Liège, mainly through woods. It passes through the Streupas moor, joins the Ourthe and runs parallel to it as far as Colonster Castle, before returning through the Sart Tilman woods.

Starting from the well-known long-distance hiking trail (signposted route to Santiago de Compostela), this route revisits the wonderful site of the circular Ourthe, passing by the old water pump towards the village of Ham. The idea behind this route is to limit the "concrete" sections to what is strictly necessary.

Loop through the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.

A mixed urban (we are in the city after all) and rural treasure hunt, taking us along the RAVel, streets, country lanes and forest paths.

The second-largest park in the city of Liège. A listed site, it covers more than 19 hectares. The vegetation is very diverse, ranging from tall trees to heathland, on terrain that is sometimes sloping with some lovely views over the city. A perfect walk to enjoy with or without your dog.

A very strenuous walk along the heights on either side of the Ourthe Valley, starting from Esneux. The route heads to the small village of Fontin via a steep path, before descending to the hamlet of Méry. It then climbs towards the village of Frêchereux, cutting across the circular bend in the river, before finally following the river and returning to the starting point via the hills.

This walk starts at Le Fief, where you will find Saint-Hadelin Church and the nail tree. La Neuville, Le Fief, Le Rouau, Le Faweux, Belle-Maison, Riessonsart: all these places evoke legends and tragedies. The 17th- and 18th-century houses with their shrines, crosses and inscriptions bear witness to the richness of the local heritage. The Magne river flows lazily through the hamlet. Le Fief de Saint-Hadelin and the centre of Olne are among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

A lovely walk for those who enjoy nature and peace and quiet.

A superb path, called the daffodil path, then takes us through the woods to the outskirts of the pretty village of Forêt. The path leads us close to Olno, a radio guidance station.

There is a legend written by Mr Daniel Van Alken, published in the 100th issue of Cahiers de Jadis and edited by the non-profit organisation Mémoire de Neupré, which tells the story of a lone wolf. This legend is set in Plainevaux. On this walk, you will discover the places where the wolf is said to have passed. Look for its footprints or tracks! If you don’t find the wolf’s, you’ll discover plenty of others… wild boars, roe deer, badgers. Don’t forget to look up to discover some magnificent scenery!

A magnificent walk with superb views. I recommend it in late autumn or early spring when there are no leaves on the trees so you can fully enjoy the scenery. Do not attempt this walk when it is raining, when there is snow, or when the Ourthe is in flood.

A mainly woodland walk in the hills above the Vesdre between Nessonvaux, Banneux and Fraipont, offering walkers beautiful views of the valley, the village of Goffontaine and the hills of Olne to the north.

This hike starts at Nessonvaux station, a village on the banks of the Vesdre. It meanders along the edge of the Herve region and the Vesdre ridges, from paths with distant horizons to sunken trails hidden in the many small, steep-sided valleys. It winds its way through authentic villages such as Olne (one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia), hamlets and other isolated places steeped in history. This rural route winds its way through a region with a thousand paths and significant elevation changes. Its charm and tranquillity encourage you to return in all seasons and in all directions, except after heavy rain or periods of frost, ice or snow.Please note: this hike does not take place in the Condroz, but in the Pays de Herve (more precisely in the Vesdre valley).

A stone's throw from the heart of the city, this route takes walkers through meadows and woods, avoiding crowded neighbourhoods and streets, while offering breathtaking views of the city and the Meuse valley. It is not uncommon to come across a herd of sheep or cattle. The region's mining past is also evident. At the lowest point of the route, you will pass through the old quarter of Liège with its dead-end streets and stairways.

You will descend towards the Amblève, which you will follow along the left bank. You will climb back up towards Oneux, where you will have a beautiful view of the Amblève valley. After a circular route, you’ll return to Oneux to head down what the locals call ‘les tartines’. A few metres after the start of the descent, straight ahead, you will see a lovely viewpoint overlooking Comblain-aux-Ponts and the Ourthe valley.

A walk combining town and more natural areas.

A pleasant and easy walk through fields where traditional crops such as beetroot, wheat and winter barley alternate, sometimes interspersed with fields of potatoes, corn and even flax. The walk passes in front of the famous Lantin prison and Fort Lantin (one of the twelve forts built to defend Liège at the end of the 19th century) and returns to its starting point via the RAVeL (Réseau Autonome des Voies Lentes), built on the former Liers-Ans railway line.

Venture into enchanting forests, walk alongside meadows and fields of wheat, flax and rye, take in superb landscapes, and pass through villages whose architectural character remains intact. As you wander along the paths and trails, discover farmhouses bearing coats of arms and humble dwellings to which sandstone or limestone lends its nobility and value; immersing yourself in the heart of the Condroz means discovering the sources of the elements: earth, stone and water.

Like the Porallée, this circular hike is located between the villages of Remouchamps and La Reid. Sometimes in the heart of forests, often along cascading streams or among high marshes, this circular hike is full of peaceful places. It offers remarkable panoramic views, connected by sometimes very old paths, passing through Vieux Chera, Hautregard and Ménobu.
