Welcome to Access-i

Hall sportif "Les Doyards"

The ‘Les Doyards’ sports hall in Vielsalm, located upstream from the Lac des Doyards, near the old railway station, has recently been completely renovated and offers a wide range of activities.

The hall has a first area of 44 m by 22 m available for hire for multi-sports activities (volleyball, basketball, mini-football, badminton, tennis, etc.).

A second area of 200 m² (annex hall) is also available for hire for activities such as dance or yoga.

The hall also has 4 players‘ changing rooms with +/- 20 places (2 of which have PRM access and are equipped with accessible toilets and showers) and 2 referees’ changing rooms (1 of which also has a PRM-accessible toilet and shower).

There are also bleachers (located on the first floor and accessible via a lifting platform or staircase) to ensure optimum visibility of the main sports area.

A cafeteria is available to enhance sporting activities. This is located on the ground floor, close to the entrance, and also gives accompanying adults a view of the main hall.

In fine weather, the cafeteria's vast terrace gives you a view of the Lac des Doyards and allows you to combine your sporting activities with a stroll around the lake.

Very well equipped sports complex.

The 2 sports halls are freely accessible (no need to go to reception) during opening hours.

Reservations can only be made in advance. Check the website or contact the contact person (email, telephone) for availability and bookings.

Prices and opening hours are not displayed on the front door.

The cafeteria is not part of the certification, but access is simple and intuitive, right next to the entrance.

However, all the PRM toilets (changing rooms or visitors) and PRM showers (players or referees) are very well equipped, with fixed and folding grab rails. In addition, there is a compliant transfer area to both the toilet bowls and the shower seats, and a rotation area of at least 150 cm.

For access to the stands on the first floor, there is a platform lift measuring 110 cm x 140 cm with a hinged door guaranteeing free passage of 90 cm. On the landing on the ground floor, there is no 50 cm clear wall on the door handle side.
