5 new outdoor activities in Luxembourg's “Little Switzerland”

Little Switzerland is the traditional name of the Müllerthal region, where even more outdoor activities for children and adults are now available.

The diverse landscape of Müllerthal is an ideal place for outdoor activities. That is why the LEADER project «Mëllerdall Outdoor!» is flourishing here.

Mëllerdall Outdoor! events are held with the participation of Luxembourg youth hostels and are focused on team building. Thus, the organizers propose to participate as a school, association or institution for children and teenagers.

All 5 «Little Switzerland» programs combine many years of experience in the field of social, sports and educational tourism.

  • Duration: 6 hours.
  • Number of participants: max. 20 people.
  • Age: children from 11 years old and adults.
