Summer is made to be enjoyed… even when it's 30°C

Heatwaves are becoming increasingly common in Belgium. However, there's no need to cancel your family outing or day with friends just because temperatures are rising. By taking a few simple precautions and choosing the right activities, you can still make the most of your summer days.

Thanks to its natural setting in the heart of the Ardennes, its many shaded areas, air-conditioned spaces and activities perfectly suited to warm summer days, Adventure Valley Durbuy lets you enjoy a full day of adventure, even when temperatures soar.

Discover our tips for staying cool while making the most of your visit.

Choose activities with plenty of shade

When temperatures rise above 30°C, the environment where you spend your day makes all the difference.

Choose outdoor activities surrounded by nature, where trees provide natural shade and allow you to take regular breaks away from the sun.

At Adventure Valley Durbuy, the new Wildwood area is a true haven of freshness. Nestled in the forest, it offers a wide range of activities in a pleasant setting, even during the hottest summer days.

Start your day when the park opens

Probably the simplest... and most effective tip.

Arriving as soon as the park opens allows you to enjoy the cooler morning temperatures and experience as many activities as possible before the hottest part of the day.

Alternate outdoor activities with cooler indoor spaces

To make the most of your day, there's no need to spend hours in direct sunlight. The ideal approach is to alternate outdoor adventures with breaks in cooler areas.

Adventure Valley features several air-conditioned spaces, including Bobbie's Bar and La Fabrique, as well as a variety of indoor activities where you can cool down while continuing the fun.

Choose naturally refreshing activities

Some activities are especially enjoyable when temperatures rise.

Our summer favourites include:

  • Kayaking on the Ourthe River, where you can enjoy the refreshing water while discovering the beautiful landscapes of the Ardennes.
  • The Spéléo Experience, an immersive cave adventure designed with experienced caving specialists. Equipped with a helmet and headlamp, you'll explore the underground world, where temperatures remain naturally cool.
  • The Wildwood activities, located beneath the trees in the heart of the forest.

These experiences offer the perfect balance between adventure and comfort on warm days.

Take regular breaks

A great adventure also means taking time to relax.

Take a break at one of the park's restaurants, enjoy a refreshing drink or simply relax in the shade for a few minutes before heading off on your next adventure.

These moments of rest will help you enjoy the activities even more throughout the day.
