Cross-country skiing at Signal de Botrange

Signal de Botrange is often the first place in Belgium to turn white, right next to the High Fens nature reserve. The SKIbotrange centre rents cross-country skis and gives each skier advice on gear and route, from short family loops to 15 and 20 km connections. Sledges can also be hired by the day, and there is a café-restaurant and a tourist information point on site. Payment is cash only. Tip: parking on the plateau is limited; come early and, on snow days, check Ostbelgien's crowd colour code (if it is red, pick another destination).
