Mountain bike in East Belgium

With its network totalling more than 480 km in length, East Belgium is among Belgium's largest and most beautiful MTB destinations. The extensive woodland areas, numerous Singletrails, the valleys of the rivers Warche, Amel, Our, Weser and Hill and the hilly nature park landscape in the High Fens offer ideal conditions for countless tours with a high fun factor.

Almost 400 m of altitude separate the highest point at the Signal de Botrange (694m) and the lowest point in Ouren (+-300m) in the border country between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. The network of routes offers both challenging tours that guarantee your calf muscles some real work, and unhurried tours for those who just want to get out and enjoy, in the midst of abundant nature. Friends of XC can choose from 18 signposted circuits reconnoitred by locals. Mountain bikers can organise their tours conveniently with the MTB tour planner on their computer or via app and smartphone.

MTB marathon riders can put themselves to the test on longer routes such as the 190-km East Belgium tour. Downhillers, freeriders and 4crossers too really get their money's worth in the bike parks in Malmedy, St.Vith and Eupen. There are cycling and mountain biking events and fixtures almost every weekend from March to November. More information in our agenda.
