Coming from Le Valtin, did this climb. Immediately a steep wall, but then climbing at fairly constant percentages through a quiet forest. Tip: don't use this road to descend.

Komend vanuit Le Valtin deze klim gedaan. Direct een steile muur, maar daarna aan vrij constante percentages door een rustig bos klimmen. Tip: gebruik deze weg niet om af te dalen.

At first a false flat ascent. But as you turn left onto the small road, the real climb begins. Climb over bad road surface through the forest until you reach the bigger road. Here you will think you are there, however, this is disappointing. Highly recommended: at the top, turn right onto Route des Crêtes.

Op het begin vals plat stijgen. Maar als je links het kleine weggetje opdraait begint de echte klim. Over slecht wegdek door het bos klimmen tot je bij de grotere weg komt. Hier zul je denken dat je er bent, echter valt dit tegen. Aanrader: Ga op de top naar rechts Route des Crêtes op.
