Family-Friendly Hikes in Luxembourg

79 routes in Luxembourg qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 4.3 km and 67 m (220 ft) of ascent.

That is 18 percent of the 434 routes we map in Luxembourg. They are shorter than the local average, 4.3 km against 16.4 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 67 m (220 ft) against 293 m (961 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Family routes here are short, gently graded and interesting enough to keep younger legs moving. Every one is under seven kilometres with limited climbing. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
