In the immediate vicinity you will find numerous hiking- and mountain-bike trails, and in the winter Alpine skiing and cross-country tracks.
An 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, horse trekking, a casino and many inviting restaurants with excellent gourmet cuisine are also close by.
The Formula-1 racetrack Spa-Francorchamps is only 30 minutes by car, as well as the charming towns of Monschau, Malmedy and Stavelot.
