Ardenne Aventures

In La Roche-en-Ardenne, Ardenne Aventures is located just a few minutes' walk from the town center and the Ourthe River. The site brings together a variety of outdoor activities in one place, making it easy to move from one activity to the next without having to travel between them. Before starting, the team presents the equipment, reviews the instructions, and checks that everyone is comfortable with the rules.

The Adventure Park, dedicated to treetop trekking, offers 74 challenges spread throughout the trees. The courses alternate between rope bridges, balance beams, crossings from tree to tree, jumps, and zip lines. Heights range from approximately 1 to 18 meters, with levels adapted for both children and adults. An introductory course helps participants become familiar with the equipment, after which everyone progresses at their own pace.

On the water, kayaking allows you to follow the course of the Ourthe River. The classic descent connects Maboge to La Roche and generally lasts around two hours, with variations depending on the water level and the group's pace. Upon arrival, you return near the town center, and you can often see the castle overlooking the town. Transportation to the starting point is organized, and paddles and life jackets are provided. When the river is not navigable, an alternative on Lake Nisramont may be offered. Rafting is possible when the water level permits, with shorter or longer trips depending on the starting point. On the water, the rules emphasize the prohibition of alcohol consumption , respect for the riverbanks, and taking all trash with you.

On land, several activities emphasize skill and group dynamics. Paintball takes place in wooded areas, with masks mandatory and clear rules regarding shooting distances. Sessions typically last around two hours, and the paintballs used are biodegradable. Bumper ball uses the same elements as soccer, but each player is surrounded by a bubble that alters balance and contact. Laughter guaranteed! The Triple Shot Experience combines archery, rifle shooting, and axe throwing, in the form of workshops and short, supervised rounds.

To explore the region, mountain bike rentals, including electric models, allow you to follow marked trails or recommended loops. Bushcraft activities, such as Wildcraft or La Roche Discovery, offer challenges involving orienteering, shelter building, and fire-making techniques. La Roche Mystery is played using a tablet provided on-site. The course, composed of QR codes and riddles, generally lasts between two and a half and three hours and passes through various points in the town, including landmarks related to World War II. A break at a tavern can be included in the experience.

In winter, an ice rink is set up in the swimming pool parking lot. It's usually open from late November to mid-January, with dates varying by year, and activities such as curling are offered. Dogs are allowed for several outdoor activities, subject to certain conditions.
