La Station – Baraque de Fraiture

Baraque de Fraiture, where Vielsalm, Manhay and Houffalize meet, is Belgium's second-highest point and the main downhill area of Luxembourg province. La Station runs three runs of 350, 700 and 1,000 m there for skiers and snowboarders, served by lifts. The cross-country trail and the sledging run are free; you only pay for gear rental. Lessons with an instructor are available on site, and the chalet serves lunch. Tip: no booking is possible, so arrive early; on busy days parking costs €5 per car, and evening openings are sometimes decided on the day.
