A place with a story

This is a place where time seems to stand still. You can feel the history in every hallway; it’s a place where generations have passed, and the walls truly have a lot to tell. A new chapter begins here for us today, as The Outsider officially moves into this impressive 1888 fort.

Adventure in a new way

We never do things halfway, and that’s no different in Chaudfontaine. This will be our newest playground, where adventure takes on a whole new dimension. The idea is simple: put on your helmet, grab your flashlight, and enter a world of mystery and discovery.

Behind the scenes, we’re busy with all the preparations. We’re planning a mix of physical challenges and strategic games that really require teamwork. The famous Outsider cocktail, in other words! What exactly are we going to do? Besides established games like laser shooting and off-road scooter tours, we’re currently developing plenty of game concepts in and around the fort, and you’ll also be challenged at altitude… One thing’s for sure: it’ll be worth it.

Adventure in every season

The great advantage of this location is that you can experience it both outdoors and indoors. At our other locations, we’re mainly outdoors, but here we also delve into the deep corridors of the Fort. This means we can welcome you all year round.

Ready for your group

The Fort is for everyone: businesses, schools, youth groups, or just your own group of friends. Children can also celebrate their adventurous birthday parties here. The focus remains the same: having fun together and strengthening group dynamics.

Practically speaking, everything is taken care of. The site has a large parking lot, the necessary restrooms, and cozy picnic areas. We’ll make sure everything is ready, so all you have to think about is having fun.

“Safety and quality are always our top priorities,” emphasizes managing director Hendrik Vandermarliere . “We’re renovating and modernizing the entire facility. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we’re really looking forward to it.”

Surprisingly close

Chaudfontaine is located near LiĆØge, on the edge of the Ardennes. You’re surrounded by greenery, but without having to spend hours traveling.

  • From LiĆØge you can get there in 15 minutes.
  • From Limburg you can get here surprisingly quickly: you can reach Hasselt in about 45 minutes,
  • Genk in just under 50 minutes.
  • Brussels is about an hour’s drive away
  • You can also reach Antwerp in about 1h15.

And this is also a strong asset for the Netherlands. From Maastricht, you can reach the fort in about 35 minutes.

Also accessible by public transport

Even without a car, you can get here easily. You can take the train to Chaudfontaine station , which is on the line between LiĆØge and Verviers. There are regular direct connections from LiĆØge-Guillemins .

From the station, it’s about 2.5 kilometers to the fort. If you don’t want to walk that distance, you can take TEC bus lines 17, 28, or 31 towards Chaudfontaine or Vaux-Sous-Chevremont. Several stops are within walking distance of the fort, and you can then walk the rest of the way.

See you soon in May! The adventure never ends, and in Chaudfontaine, it’s about to begin…

We look forward to welcoming you soon to the Fort of Chaudfontaine, Rue du XIII Aoƻt 42, 4050 Chaudfontaine , to discover this brand-new experience.
