Snow once again covers the Hautes Fagnes plateau, to the delight of lovers of snow sports and walks. There were also many of them this Thursday who gathered around the Signal de Botrange to take advantage of it. And they were right because this Friday, only a few cross-country skiing and toboggan runs, and even one alpine skiing trail in Ovifat, should be open, but with very average snow quality. The walkers of that day were in any case delighted with the windfall,
” It’s all white. There are fir trees, there are trees, there is a lot of fog. And then it’s the fagne. It’s magnificent. It’s a good opportunity to do a little sport and get active outside, to get some fresh air and to be able to eliminate a little bit of everything you ate during the holidays. “, rejoices a walker. ” We are going to enjoy the snow with my two daughters. We took out the sled, wetsuit, hat and scarf, everything we needed ” confirms a mother. ” We’re going to go to a hill and we’re going to go sliding on the sled. For now, I pull my little sister and then she laughs “, specifies one of his daughters. ” We’re halfway there. We go around. We’re going to go back down and then we’re going to go have a little coffee “, explains another. ” We came from Kortrijk. This might be the last chance we have to walk in the snow “, estimates another walker. ” We came on a whim. We had activities planned, but we said no, today we have to go, because we don’t know if we will still have any “, adds a last one.
