In the next hamlet it gets a bit steeper again, but it remains mostly false flat until Dairomont. After that you can descend to Grand Halleux to start on the Wanne.... read more

The first kilometre is steep, but once you have passed the last house and dive into the forest, the road becomes (barely) level. In the next hamlet it gets a bit steeper again, but it remains mostly false flat until Dairomont. After that you can descend to Grand Halleux to start on the Wanne.
Deze valt goed mee, de eerste kilometer is steil, maar eens je het laatste huis voorbij bent en het bos in duikt ga je over in (amper) vals plat. In het volgende gehucht wordt het terug eventjes wat steiler, maar het blijft grotendeels vals plat tot Dairomont. Daarna kan je afdalen naar Grand Halleux om bv aan de Wanne te beginnen.
Once I was on training camp with the cycling team and we stayed in Saint-Jacques, on top of the climb. And if you have to do this climb again after 130 kilometers in the Ardennes, it's disappointing. Although it is not that hard. The steepest parts are at the bottom of the hill, at the two wide curves. But it is perfectly possible to choose a gear and keep it up to the top. I myself choose the 52 after about one kilometer (although that was no longer possible after 130 km). For the lovers of walls and cramps: you can also take the mega-steep Rue des Hézalles in Trois-Ponts and then join this climb.
Ik ben ooit met de koersploeg op stage geweest en toen logeerden we in Saint-Jacques, boven aan de klim dus. En als je na 130 Ardense kilometers deze klim nog eens op moet, valt hij tegen. Al is hij eigenlijk niet zo lastig. De steilste stroken bevinden zich beneden, aan de twee brede bochten. Maar het is prima mogelijk om een verzet te kiezen en dat vol te houden tot de top. Ikzelf kies na een kleine kilometer al terug voor de 52 (al ging dat na die 130 km niet meer). Voor de liefhebbers van muren en krampen: je kan in Trois-Ponts ook de mega-steile Rue des Hézalles nemen en dan aansluiten op deze klim.
Only the first kilometer is hard work. After that you can enjoy the surroundings.
Alleen de eerste kilometer is afzien. Daarna kun je van de omgeving genieten.
Not to mention Group accommodation Le Mont Saint Jacques on top of the mountain, with swimming pool etc. Refreshment should be there ;) www.groepsaccommodatie-ardennen.be
Niet te vergeten Groepsaccommodatie Le Mont Saint Jacques op de top van de berg, met zwembad etc. verkoeling moet er zijn ;) www.groepsaccommodatie-ardennen.be
