Very long climb of which not many in the area come close to the length. I often felt here that I was climbing to Signal de Botrange. Very similar in terms of traffic, road and environment. It can be quite busy here. Would recommend this one to have done once, but not very challenging or special in terms of scenery. Afterwards you can do a very long descent, of course.

Heel lange beklimming waarvan er niet veel in de omgeving in de buurt van de lengte komen. Ik had hier dikwijls het gevoel dat ik naar Signal de Botrange aan het klimmen was. Heel gelijkaardig qua verkeer, weg en omgeving. Het kan hier best druk zijn. Zou deze aanraden om eens gedaan te moeten hebben, maar niet heel uitdagend of speciaal op vlak van omgeving. Nadien kan je wel een heel lange afdaling doen natuurlijk.

The climb is nice and long, one of the longest in Belgium. As you can see, it is nowhere steep and you can just 'm up on your outer sheet. The first part from Mormont to Manhay is nice in terms of scenery, I think you ride along a stream very sheltered by a wooded area. The only pity is that the road surface here is terrible, it really is sometimes slalom over the road surface to avoid potholes and bumps. Then you arrive in Manhay, from there the road surface is top notch and the landscape more open. Wide open scenery and great views. Descend a bit and cross the viaduct still to 'm off. Near the summit there is plenty of catering opportunity to moor, when I was there on Ascension Day it was well full. Should you want to descend this one, it goes top to Manhay. From Manhay to Mormont I would not recommend because of the poor road surface.

De klim is lekker lang, een van de langste van België. Zoals je kunt zien is het nergens steil en kun je 'm gewoon op je buitenblad opfietsen. Het eerste deel van Mormont tot Manhay is qua omgeving wel mooi, je rijdt volgens mij langs een stroompje heel erg beschut door een bosachtige omgeving. Het jammere is alleen dat het wegdek hier verschrikkelijk is, het is echt soms slalommen over de wegdek om kuilen en hobbels te ontwijken. Daarna kom je in Manhay aan, vanaf daar is het wegdek top en het landschap meer open. Weidse omgeving en een mooie uitzicht. Stukje afdalen en het viaduct nog over om 'm af te tikken. Nabij de top is er voldoende horeca gelegenheid om aan te leggen, toen ik er was op Hemelvaartsdag zat het er goed vol. Mocht je deze af willen dalen, dat gaat top tot Manhay. Van Manhay tot Mormont zou ik niet aanraden omwille van het slechte wegdek.
