Deux Rochers Walk

The route starts in Malmedy 's central square , opposite Saint-Pierre Church. After a quick warm-up on the cobblestones, you take Rue de l'Église and then turn onto the forest path towards Bellevaux. Very soon, the path climbs into the woods, alternating between shaded sections and clearings where you can already glimpse the first Ardennes ridges. The ascent to Rocher de Falize is on a stony path, marked with red dots, offering a taste of the panoramic views to come from the very first few hundred meters.

• The Rocher de Falize : an imposing limestone promontory overlooking Malmedy, ideal for a first photo break.
• The “Double” of Falize : a small, adjacent, more intimate viewpoint, perfect for a picnic sheltered from the wind.
• Fir and beech forests : alternating stands of trees that offer a contrast of colours depending on the season.
• Panoramic ridges : several openings in the beech forest allow you to admire the surrounding valleys and the red roofs of Malmedy.
• Rest areas provided : benches and information panels on the geological history of the site.

After enjoying the second viewpoint, descend via a gentler path towards the Col du Staneux. The route then follows a small wooded valley before crossing the hamlet of Xhoffraix , where a few houses built of local stone are reminders of the Ardennes heritage. A final stretch of local road leads back down towards Malmedy, alongside terraced fields and schist walls, to the starting point in the church square, where a well-deserved break awaits you in one of the nearby cafés.
