The place:
Nestled in Longfaye, on the edge of the Hautes-Fagnes-Eifel Natural Park, the Similaun cottage accommodates up to 12 people on 3 levels: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large convivial kitchen and a living room with wood stove. The terrace and the garden open onto the Ardennes countryside.
The Similaun gîte is ideally located 15 minutes from the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, one of the mythical circuits on the world calendar. A perfect base to attend the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, the 6 Hours of Spa (WEC), the 24 Hours of Spa or the 25 Hours VW Fun Cup, and find calm and comfort after a day in the grandstands.

For working people:
A secure room is dedicated to bicycles, with repair equipment and washing point. The network of marked trails starts from the property: Fagne de Malmedy, Signal de Botrange (highest point in Belgium, 694 m), Cuckboards of La Polleur. In winter, the cross-country ski trails of Xhoffraix and Botrange are a few minutes away, the alpine slopes of Ovifat just opposite.

After exercise:
Private jacuzzi, billiards, table football, wood stove: the Similaun cottage is designed to recover well after a day in the great outdoors. On order (minimum 5 days in advance),
Our catering service prepares meals, BBQ packages or raclette/pierrade based on local products, to fully enjoy without going behind the stove.
