Enjoy hiking light, sleep at the Inn!
On the first day: slip on your backpack for the departure from Van d’en Haut and a short climb of one and half hours to the Inn. Once you arrive, you can choose between a dormitory bed or an individual room in which to rest your weary legs. Then, you’ll be able to contemplate the many places to explore from there…
