Christmas holidays in the Ardennes
Christmas holidays in the Ardennes are an annual tradition for many Belgian families. The chance of snow is greater there than anywhere else in Belgium, the forests are glorious under a layer of white and a home with an open fire creates the mood that belongs to the festive season.

The Ardennes in December are quiet and intimate. No crowds, no masses of tourists. Villages such as La Roche, Durbuy and Bouillon put on their Christmas atmosphere and offer enough to fill a week. Ice skating, walking through snowy woods, a fondue evening by the fire: memories that stay.
Anyone wanting to spend the Christmas holidays in the Ardennes should book early. December is one of the most sought-after periods for Ardennes holiday homes. Homes with an open fire and enough room for the whole family are popular and fully booked by September or October.
Why the Ardennes during the Christmas holidays?
The Ardennes lie higher than the rest of Belgium, which raises the chance of snow. In a good year, snow covers the hills around Vielsalm, Malmedy and the High Fens. But even without snow, December in the Ardennes is special: the forests are bare but imposing, the air is clear and the short days have something intimate about them. A home with an open fire and good heating is the ideal base then.
What do these homes offer?
Homes for the Christmas holidays in the Ardennes are usually larger than the average holiday home. Families book together and look for 6, 8 or 10 beds. An open fire, a big dining table, a well-equipped kitchen: those are the criteria. Some owners provide a Christmas tree or decorations. Ask about it when booking if that matters to you.
Tips for your Christmas holidays in the Ardennes
- Book as early as possible, preferably in September. The Christmas holidays are the busiest time of year for Ardennes holiday homes.
- Check that the home has central heating as well as the open fire. An open fire sets the mood but does not heat the whole house.
- Keep an eye on the snow forecast and bring winter tyres or chains if you choose a higher-lying area.
- Book your festive dinner locally: the restaurants in La Roche, Bouillon or Durbuy are atmospheric places on Christmas Eve.
