A climb that turns from very ugly to quite beautiful the further up you climb. The last stretch through the forest is worthwhile and also very quiet

Een klim die van heel lelijk naar vrij mooi overgaat hoe verder naar boven je klimt. Het laatste stuk door het bos is de moeite en ook zeer rustig

From Hastière-Lavaux, take the fairly busy road towards Anthée. It climbs evenly but not steeply. At the sign 'Grotte du Pont d'Arcole' you turn left and immediately it does get quite steep: 800 metres at 8％. 3 bends further on it continues straight up but already the climb slows down a bit. You reach the village of Inzemont and then the climb is basically over. A dead straight road continues faintly uphill, first through fields (where you get a good view of the Meuse valley on the left), then through a chalet park (watch out, here cars can suddenly enter the road from a driveway), then through a pine forest.

Vanuit Hastière-Lavaux neem je de vrij drukke weg richting Anthée. Het loopt gelijkmatig maar niet steil op. Aan het bord 'Grotte du Pont d'Arcole' sla je links in en meteen wordt het wel vrij steil: 800 meter aan 8％. 3 bochten verder gaat het verder recht omhoog maar houdt de klim al een beetje in. Je bereikt het dorpje Inzemont en dan zit de klim er eigenlijk al op. Een kaarsrechte weg loopt nog flauw verder omhoog, eerst door velden (waar je links een goed zicht op de Maasvallei krijgt), dan door een chaletpark (opgelet, hier kunnen plots wagens vanop een oprit de weg opkomen), dan door een naaldwoud.
