By bicycle from Rixensart to Mont-Saint-Guibert

Set off from the charming town of Rixensart, known for its beautiful castle and its proximity to Lake Genval. Your ride to Mont-Saint-Guibert takes you through about 17 km of classic Walloon countryside, mixing quiet backroads and the occasional unpaved stretch—so a sturdy bike is a good idea. Expect a bit of climbing (over 200 meters of ascent) but also plenty of gentle descents along the way.

The route is mostly on peaceful roads, occasionally shifting to light gravel or dirt tracks—perfect for enjoying the scenery and the local villages dotted between fields and forests. You’ll finish in Mont-Saint-Guibert, a mellow town with a great local bakery scene and a classic Belgian vibe.

Overall, it’s a varied and calm ride—ideal for cyclists who like the mix of tarmac and trail with a few rolling hills thrown in. Don’t forget a camera: the rural views and historic stone houses are made for photos!
