Question 1

When does the Malmedy carnival take place?

Accepted Answer

The Cwarmê, Malmedy's carnival, runs over the three days before Ash Wednesday, in February or early March. It is one of the largest and oldest carnival celebrations in Wallonia. Holiday homes in the area fill up quickly during carnival.

Question 2

How much does a holiday home in Malmedy cost?

Accepted Answer

A chalet or holiday home for two people in Malmedy costs on average 70 to 110 euros a night. Larger homes for four to eight people range from 110 to 180 euros a night. During carnival and in winter, prices rise.

Question 3

How far are the High Fens from Malmedy?

Accepted Answer

The High Fens begin practically at the town's doorstep. The Signal de Botrange, the highest point in Belgium at 694 metres, is about 15 minutes away by car. Several walking trails start directly from Malmedy or from the neighbouring villages.

Question 4

Can I go cross-country skiing in Malmedy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in snowy winters the Malmedy and High Fens area is one of the few places in Belgium where cross-country skiing is possible. The altitude means better snow cover than in most other parts of the Ardennes. Check the snow conditions before you set off.

Question 5

Are there holiday homes for large groups in Malmedy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, around Malmedy you will find spacious holiday homes and farmhouses for groups of eight to fifteen people. Many have an open fire, a large garden and a well-equipped kitchen. Book early for winter and the carnival period.

Question 6

How far is Malmedy from the Spa-Francorchamps circuit?

Accepted Answer

The circuit is barely a quarter of an hour's drive from Malmedy, via Stavelot or Francorchamps. During the Grand Prix and major race weekends, many visitors therefore stay in Malmedy: you are right nearby, but in a real town with restaurants and shops. Note that holiday homes for these weekends are fully booked months in advance.

Question 7

What are the finest walks around Malmedy?

Accepted Answer

The Bayehon waterfall, one of the highest in Belgium, is reached by a forest walk from Longfaye. The Rocher de Falize is a striking rock face on the edge of town, and at Robertville you walk to Reinhardstein castle, dramatically perched above the Warche; check the visiting days. And the High Fens begin a short quarter of an hour's drive away.

Question 8

Can I bring my dog to Malmedy?

Accepted Answer

In many holiday homes around Malmedy, dogs are welcome; filter on pets allowed. The woods around the town are a wonderful place to walk with a dog. In the High Fens nature reserve, strict rules apply: dogs are only allowed on a few marked paths, always on a lead. Ask your host for dog-friendly routes.
