Trails in Jalhay

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE BEEN THIS CLOSE TO NATURE

Jalhay is perfect for fans of technical single tracks snaking alongside small watercourses and through vast isolated forests. Far from civilisation, you enter into communion with this incredible environment. The sound of the gently-flowing streams, the flexibility of the lichen cushioning your step, the deer keeping watch, the cloud reflections on Gileppe lake; everything you need to connect with wild and authentic nature.

Jalhay plays host to a large community of trail walkers and hosts small and large running events playing an important role in the area and in history. “Grand Trail des Lacs et Châteaux (GTLC)”, “Sawe qui Peut”, “l’Herbiestrail”, “Trail des Nutons”, “Triplette de Solwaster”,… are all chances to celebrate this passion we share.

The Jalhay routes criss-cross the Hoëgne valley. They lie between the High Fens area and the Gileppe dam.
