A bit of care when turning up from the main road through the centre of La-Roche, then narrow and bad road surface and immediately very steep. In the middle you get some respite with the descending section. You can also stop here if you have the time and inclination to take a dip in the swimming pond that lies to the right. After this, it goes back at percentages that require you to keep going in the red, but fortunately the trees keep it pretty well sheltered from the heat if there is any. At the top it flattens out a bit, but watch out on the descent to the main road on the north side, which is sometimes in bad shape and has a sharp right-angle bend.

Een beetje opletten bij het opdraaien vanaf de grote weg door centrum La-Roche, daarna smal en slecht wegdek en meteen heel steil. In het midden krijg je even verpozing door het dalende stuk. Hier kan je ook even stoppen als je tijd en zin hebt om een dijk in de zwemvijver die rechts ligt te nemen. Hierna gaat het terug tegen percentages waarvoor je in het rood moet blijven gaan, maar gelukkig blijft het door de bomen vrij goed beschut van de hitte als die er is. Boven vlakt het wat af, maar let op in de afdaling naar de grote weg aan de noordkant, die ligt er soms slecht bij en heeft een scherpe haakse bocht.

When you leave La Roche you immediately know what time it is. It is a matter of riding up as economically as possible until you reach the Parc Gibier where you can regain your breath for a moment. Then you get back to work, fortunately a bit less steep than the first part, or at least a bit more even. When you get to the top, there is normally a sign where you can take a picture to immortalise your achievement on photo.

Wanneer je La Roche verlaat weet je direct hoe laat het is. Het is kwestie van zo economisch mogelijk naar boven te rijden tot je aan het Parc Gibier komt waar je heel even je adem kan terug vinden. Daarna mag je terug aan de bak, gelukkig iets minder steil dan het eerste stuk, of toch iets gelijkmatiger. Als je boven komt staat er normaal gezien een bord waarmee je even op de foto kan om je prestatie te vereeuwigen op foto.

The toughest of the haussire variants in my opinion, the small downhill in the middle really doesn't help

The most beautiful of all the Haussire variants. Very narrow road that crawls up with a beautiful view of la Roche. 5 stars!

De mooiste van alle Haussire varianten. Heel smal weggetje wat omhoog kruipt met een prachtig uitzicht op la Roche. 5 sterren!

It is this variant of Haussire, passing by the côte du Parc à Gibier and then the end of Haussire itself, but not by the Gohette, that is usually used by the Vélomédiane-Claude Criquiélion. The ascent is then timed.

C'est cette variante de Haussire, passant par la côte du Parc à Gibier puis la fin de Haussire proprement dit, mais pas par la Gohette, qui est habituellement empruntée par la Vélomédiane-Claude Criquiélion. L'ascension est alors chronométrée.
