This climb is characterised by a lot of variety, both in gradients and scenery. Granted the bit under the motorway is not too pretty, but both before and after you have beautiful views.

Nice varied climb with some spicier sections (after the viaduct and as you leave Fays again). Green surroundings and in the first part you have nice views of the motorway viaduct and the valley. After the descent, take care as the road to the left does not really stand out. Should you miss it and there is a second chance to turn left just after that (where that little road also gives a better flow).

Nice little climb that first goes up on a narrow road through her village and then continues at the top of the valley on a wider road. Several bits to catch your breath, the further up the climb the better the views!

The middle part of the climb can be seen from the highway between the exits of Theux and Spa. It's a steep climb, but not really worth the effort. The village of Fays and the short stretch after are nice.
