Equitrail: Water-themed horse trail ride in Virton

On 29 June 2026, Virton hosts the Equitrail, an original horse trail ride dedicated to the theme of water. Riders set off at 8am from la Bourriqueresse, a well-known local landmark. The route invites participants to discover the streams, rivers and wetlands that shape the Gaume countryside, offering a fresh perspective on this gentle rolling landscape.

The event is part of the Walloon Water Days (JWE), a regional initiative celebrating Wallonia's rich water heritage. Riders pass through varied terrain—green meadows, wooded valleys—in a friendly, eco-conscious atmosphere. It's a chance to experience Virton from an unusual angle, away from the usual tourist trails and closer to nature.

If you're staying in Gaume around this time, consider watching the early morning departure or exploring Virton later in the day. Check for any road closures or access restrictions on the day itself. It's a great excuse to extend your stay and discover the surroundings on foot or by bike, following the region's many scenic trails.
