Auberge de Jeunesse de Champlon, Champlon, België

Welcome to Auberge de Jeunesse de Champlon. The Champlon Youth Hostel nestles in the forests of the Ardennes - an ideal location for nature-lovers and for cross-country skiing throughout the winter.

Situated between the large touristic centres of Marche en Famenne, Saint Hubert, La Roche en Ardenne, Houffalize and Bastogne, the Champlon/Tenneville and Ortho region caters for a rural tourism that never lacks in charm and peacefulness. One can expect to find pastoral, agricultural and forest surroundings. The presence of one of the largest forests in Belgium (the Freyr forest) enabled the return of the black stork.
