A stunning base for Mother’s Day if you want to really spoil your mum. And why not combine a visit with a beautiful walk along the Royal Museum for Central Africa or a bike ride in the Sonian Forest?

DESCRIPTION

The Hallerbos (the Blue Forest) is the most important and extensive woodland area between the Zenne and Sonien. The forest is a real crowd-pleaser thanks to the stunning blue carpet of wild hyacinths that bloom in the middle of April. The varied landscape offers stunning walking opportunities and makes a visit to this area more than worthwhile.

When you see the young, fresh green beech leaves that are just appearing on the trees, you’ll understand why photographers and nature enthusiasts come to see this amazing woodland from far and wide. Forests with woodland hyacinths are unique in the world.

Every EY employee can invite up to 5 family members to join at this event.  The payment for every family member has to be made at the moment of subscription by the EY employee, and will be refunded by 100% EY Cashback.

DESCRIPTION

One of the most beautiful walks in the Ardennes!

The route leads walkers along the Ninglinspo, a small river that meanders through a mountainous valley in the province of Luik,  and through the stunning, green undulating landscape around Aywaille. A must for every walker!

A day to de-stress and let off steam in a beautiful natural setting; what could be better? Kids are also very welcome; it’s a great area for romping around and there are more than enough spots for building dams.

This is a ‘Family Welcome’ event:

Every EY employee can invite up to 5 family members to join at this event.
The payment for every family member has to be made at the moment of subscription by the EY employee, and will be refunded by 100% EY Cashback. What is ‘Family’?  Partners, siblings, parents, and cousins.  No friends.
