Discover Bertrix

Welcome to Bertrix

Located in the province of Luxembourg, in Wallonia, Bertrix is an Ardennes municipality nestled between the valleys of the Semois and the Lesse rivers. This geographical position offers varied landscapes, mixing dense forests and green hills, ideal for outdoor activities.

Bertrix is renowned for its slate mining heritage. The Morépire slate quarry, in operation from 1889 to 1976, is now a major tourist attraction. Visitors can explore a network of underground galleries extending over a kilometer, 25 meters below the surface, bearing witness to the work of the "scailtons," the slate miners.

Nature lovers will appreciate the numerous hiking trails crisscrossing the surrounding forests, offering panoramic views of the Semois Valley. The "Voie des Pierres qui Parlent" (Way of the Talking Stones), built on a former railway line connecting Bertrix to Herbeumont, is particularly popular with walkers and cyclists. Viewpoints such as "Les Baux" and "Le Mergyre" offer remarkable perspectives on the region.

Bertrix is an ideal destination for travelers seeking authenticity and cultural discoveries. Its rich industrial heritage, varied landscapes, and outdoor activities make it a perfect place for relaxation and exploration in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes.
