Chaudfontaine: Thermal Waters, Culture and Active Trails

Chaudfontaine offers several different reasons to stay: thermal waters, cultural history and trails for outdoor activities. The Vesdre runs through the town, and several hot springs emerge from the rocky ground. Other attractions include the outdoor thermal pool at the Château des Thermes, the underground Fort de Chaudfontaine, the Galerie de la gare and various trails. When planning your trip, you can focus on thermal waters, culture or exercise. This also gives you a specific question to start your search for a holiday apartment: which side of Chaudfontaine would you most like to experience?

Thermal Waters in Two Forms

The Château des Thermes has a 32°C outdoor thermal pool with hydrojets. Thermal facilities may change, so check the latest operating details before your visit. Several hot springs emerge from the rocky ground at 36.6°C. These figures refer to different things: 36.6°C is the temperature of the springs, while 32°C is the temperature of the pool.

Cultural History and an Underground Fort

The Galerie de la gare de Chaudfontaine was restored after the railway station closed and converted into a cultural space. Its restoration after the closure and its conversion into a cultural space give the gallery a distinctive history of changing uses. Fort de Chaudfontaine offers an underground labyrinth of dark galleries and former military halls. Its visitor program may change, so check the latest information before your visit. The two sites appeal to different interests: the gallery focuses on its conversion into a cultural space, while the fort features underground spaces and former military use.
