FAMILY & RIDE-HAILING
Li p'tit vôye - The little loop
12 km - 101 m D+ - 45 min
A short loop ideal for a first exploration of the High Fens by bike. The route stays mainly on the heights of Botrange and offers an accessible ride, without major difficulties, in the heart of the typical landscapes of the plateau.
Short, pleasant and undemanding, it's the perfect route for a leisurely outing, a family ride or simply to enjoy the High Fens by bike without going out for several hours.

19 km - 232m D+ - 1h
This loop allows you to discover the High Fens while enjoying a more varied route than the shorter loop. It maintains the plateau feel, but with more elevation changes and some descents and ascents that make the outing more challenging.

Li grande vôye dès Fagnes -
The great loop of the fens
32 km - 429m D+ - 1h45
A great loop to explore the High Fens and fully enjoy their landscapes by bike. Longer and hillier than our first two routes, it alternates between the heights of the plateau, forest sections and several beautiful descents before climbing back up towards Botrange.
The route largely follows the network of numbered junctions, which makes orientation particularly easy and allows you to enjoy the walk without having to constantly look at your GPS.
At nearly 32 km, it remains accessible without being a simple stroll: some climbs require a little effort and give the route a true hiking character.

Êwe, lac è fagne -
Water, lake & Fen
50 km - 600 m D+ - 2h40
A beautiful loop that leaves the heights of the Fagnes to reach Lake Bütgenbach.
The route offers a real diversity of landscapes: villages, forests, small country roads and wide open spaces around the lakes follow one another throughout the outing.
An ideal route for those who want to discover another side of the region and combine, in a single outing, the lakes and landscapes of the Ardennes.

MTB - Les montêyes belches -
EASY - 20 km - 433 D+ - 1h30
A first approach to the "Belgian mountains" by mountain bike, designed to enjoy the terrain without seeking out the most technical sections. From the heights of Botrange, the route gradually leaves the plateau to descend towards more enclosed and wooded landscapes before returning to the High Fens.
No major technical difficulties, but real climbs: with more than 400m of elevation gain over only 20km, this loop remains physical and already offers a nice overview of the region's terrain.

MTB - Les montêyes belches -
MEDIUM - 30 km - 800 D+ - 2h15
A true Belgian mountain route, which leaves the high plateaus to plunge into a much more pronounced terrain, between forests, valleys and breathtaking panoramas.
The route features numerous singletrack sections, wooded passages, playful descents, and several remarkable viewpoints. The atmosphere then changes completely over the last 8 kilometers, returning to wide open spaces and the typical landscapes of the High Fens.
A very complete, varied and spectacular loop, which gives a real feeling of escape and mountains without leaving the region.
GPX
MTB - Les montêyes belches -
HARD - 51 km - 1200 D+ - 3h45
The most athletic version of the Montêyes belches. You'll find the same mountain scenery as on the Medium route, but with even more diversity, more elevation gain, and above all, numerous single tracks that give this loop a true mountain biking character.
Deep forests, valleys, spectacular panoramas, playful descents and wilder sections follow one another for much of the route. Then, after this long immersion in hilly and wooded terrain, the scenery changes completely: the last 17 kilometers gradually lead back to the wide open spaces of the High Fens.
A complete, demanding but above all spectacular route, designed for those who want to fully enjoy everything our region has to offer by mountain bike.

THE EIFEL TOUR

Two superb loops through what, in our opinion, are among the most beautiful landscapes in the High Fens–Eifel region.
From the high plateaus, the route descends towards the Eifel region, winding through winding roads, long climbs, vast forests, deep valleys, and dramatic mountain panoramas. It also passes through several picturesque villages, including Monschau, before continuing towards increasingly open and spectacular landscapes.
The MEDIUM version already offers a magnificent overview of the region. The LONG version extends the adventure to the landscapes of the Rursee, with even more varied terrain, diversity, and that true feeling of embarking on a cycling trip.
ROAD
THE EIFEL TOUR

GPX
Two superb road cycling loops that show how the High Fens–Eifel region can offer real mountain sensations.
The routes combine long climbs, fast descents, winding roads, narrow valleys, forests and grand panoramas, with several sections common to the Gravel versions but this time 100% on asphalt.
The MEDIUM version already offers a magnificent immersion in this very rugged terrain. The LONG version takes the experience even further, with more distance, more elevation gain, and the amazing feeling of riding on a real mountain course… just a few dozen kilometers from home.
Real mountain tracks, yet entirely regional.

From the Loci bistro to the Loci chalet
The Loci Tour connects the Bistrot Loci in Botrange to the Chalet Loci in Val de Wanne via three routes: mountain biking, gravel/hybrid biking or road cycling.
Start at one of the two establishments, visit the other for a meal or a drink, then return to your starting point. Simply by showing proof of your participation in the Tour Loci, you'll receive a 10% discount on your meal vouchers for the day , both during and after the tour.
The three routes traverse a wide variety of landscapes, from the High Fens and forests to the Ardennes valleys, villages, and sweeping panoramas . The terrain is quite varied: the route leaves the plateau to descend deep into the valleys before climbing back up to the heights, giving these routes a truly sporty character.
Three different ways to connect our two Loci, but the same idea: to make the journey a true day of adventure .
