The Semois

On this expedition we start from the 'Giant's Tomb'. The "Tombeau du Géant" is classified as "exceptional heritage of Wallonia" and "natural heritage of landscape interest". It is undoubtedly one of the best known and most photographed in Belgium with this superb loop of a wild Semois. According to the legend, a giant from Treviso is buried here. He refused to be taken prisoner by the Romans after the battle of the Sambre and preferred to throw himself into the void at the "Gattes rock" rather than die in the Colosseum.

Our answers to your questions

How many people can participate in the initiation?

We prefer a group of maximum 10 people for our initiations. This way, our guide can have the time to guide each of you at your own pace.

If you want to do it with a bigger group, don't hesitate to send us an email to see if we can organise an initiation with 2 guides.

Are there any other dates planned for the initiations?

If the proposed dates are not convenient for you, do not hesitate to send us an email to see if we can organise an initiation on another day.

How do we get to the meeting place?

Once we have a confirmed group to go on the adventure, we will create a Whatsapp group/email chain to encourage carpooling.

If carpooling is not possible, we can advise you on transport options. Just ask us!

How heavy is the bag I will be carrying?

During the 8km walk, you will carry your packraft and paddles in a hiking bag. The whole thing weighs less than 5 kg.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If we judge that the weather is too bad to spend a good time together and/or if the weather does not allow us to carry out the expedition (e.g. drought, floods, stormy weather etc): in this case, we will cancel the expedition and provide you with a voucher to be able to book a new date at no additional cost.

I still have more questions about this expedition, how do I go about it?

No problem, for any other question, don't hesitate to come and have a look at our super complete FAQ, which you can find here here.
