Nice long climb from Stavelot. Good road surface and not too busy. As soon as you leave the built-up area of Stavelot, you are treated to beautiful views to your left. When the road bends slightly to the left, you have to pedal hard because La Bergerie is a tough calf bite. It is clearly not a through road, as the tarmac is a lot less. Still, this version is highly recommended over the alternative over the larger road because it continues via a large blind bend where cars can sometimes surprise you. And what is more, on La Bergerie the view is even more spectacular. You then continue via a few hamlets where the gradient is pleasant.

Mooie lange klim vanuit Stavelot. Goed wegdek en niet al te druk. Zodra je de bebouwde kom van Stavelot uitkomt wordt je getrakteerd op een mooi uitzicht aan je linkerhand. Als de weg iets naar links buigt moet je even flink op de pedalen want le chemin du chateau is dan pittige kuitenbijter. Het is duidelijk geen doorgaande weg, want het asfalt is er direct ook een stuk minder. Toch is deze versie wel een aanrader boven het alternatief over de grotere weg want die vervolgt via een grote onoverzichtelijke bocht waar de auto's je soms kunnen verrassen. En bovendien is het uitzicht bovenoo nog spectaculairder. Daarna dqal je lichtjes af door een gehuchtje waarna je op het eind nog eens wordt getrakteerd op een stijgingspercentage met dubbele cijfers. Veel afwisseling en mooie uitzichten dus!
