La Transgaumaise à vélo

A weekend to discover the Gaume by bike: splendid landscapes but also the sites of Torgny, Orval, Chiny,...

This splendid 175 km loop hike (2 or 3 stages) will make you discover the Gaume, the “Little Belgian Provence” and will also take you to Avioth in France. You cross Belgian Lorraine, its splendid landscapes and its most beautiful villages such as Torgny, by bike and in freedom.

Visit the Gaume through its side roads and soak up the warmth of the region with a looping tour starting and ending in Rabais (Virton). These 2 or 3 stages will give you the opportunity to hear the cicadas, to see the sun set over the vines and to admire the rounded tiles of the roofs of the typical villages of the south of Belgium. Along the way, discover also the citadel of Montmédy, the church of Avioth, the abbey of Orval or the Renaissance houses of the village of Marville.

The Transgaumaise is a magnificent circuit for lovers of a change of scenery: GPX tracks, quality accommodation, luggage transport, guidance application and information on the region. Everything is planned so that you can make the most of the region and its beauties.

Bike tour in freedom – Variable duration from 3 to 4 days – Departure all year round according to your availability and your possibilities.
