Les Baladanes de l'Hermeton, Sports / Leisure Activity in Philippeville
Discover nature on a walk at the pace of one or more donkeys
Welcome to Balad'Ânes de l'Hermeton , your gateway to a gentle and authentic adventure in the heart of the Viroin-Hermeton nature park, in the bucolic village of Sautour, between Namur and the Belgian Ardennes.
Passionately run by Karl and Véronique , our structure invites young and old to slow down and reconnect with nature... gently. The donkeys, these calm and sensitive companions, guide you along preserved paths, inviting you to discover unique landscapes and viewpoints accessible only on foot.
Before each outing, Karl introduces you to simple steps for interacting with the donkey: calm, kindness, and patience are key. "When you reassure the donkey... you calm down too," he often says.
We offer hikes suitable for everyone:
- Half-day , full-day , or multi-day (with bivouac or B&B),
- Personalized events : school trips, team-building activities, birthdays, children's courses, etc.
Our walks strengthen bonds: human relationships, complicity with the donkey, and contemplation of the living. Upon your return, you'll leave feeling calm and refreshed—"often surprised by so much beauty," according to our visitors.
Balad'Ânes de l'Hermeton is much more than a walk: it's a return to basics. Book today and let yourself be guided towards peace, sharing... and simple, fun, and humanistic discovery!

Relaxer...
As the days go by, the Baladanes vegetable garden rewards us with its fruits: Walloon curly potatoes, red Flanders potatoes and blue Artois potatoes, purple garlic catch our eye and invite us to present you with a lovely curly potatoes with bacon from our little butcher in Philippeville. If you're interested, don't hesitate to book. With blackberries or raspberries, our homemade vinegar will tickle your taste buds.

A family outing
For once, we accompanied Tayack and Ulysse as a family to explore the Bois de Sautour. What a joy to slow down and discover this beautiful nature with the children.
