Nice easy climb, with okay roads. The views aren't bad and not many people in the vicinity.

Nice climb. Which is easy to do. Nice views at some points. Just before the top, a very bad piece of tarmac. Pay extra attention if you do this as a descent. Then a nice view.

Mooie klim. Die goed te doen is. Mooi uitzicht op een aantal punten. Vlak voor de top wel een erg slecht stuk asfalt. Hier extra op letten als je deze als afdaling doet. Dan idd een mooi uitzicht.

Lovely long climb. Beautiful surroundings. I cycled this on a quiet Tuesday morning at the end of March and did not see anyone the whole way. Good effort.

Heerlijk lange klim. Prachtige omgeving. Ik fietste deze op een rustige dinsdagochtend eind maart en kwam de hele weg niemand tegen. Qua inspanning goed te doen.

Again long runner that you can take it easy with percentages that don't hurt anywhere. Ideal for high altitude runners without having to go into the red.

Opnieuw lange loper die je rustig aan kan doen met percentages die nergens pijn doen. Ideaal voor hoogtemeterd zonder in het rood te moeten.

One of my favourite Ardennes climbs. Maybe because it reminds me a bit of a mid-mountain pass in my home region of Grenoble. If you start too hard, this climb can seem endless. There is little traffic, the road is quite wide, and the first part of it (when I last did it three years ago) is in pretty bad shape. The part that follows the village of Bois d'Arlogne (from about km 4) is used by the Vélomédiane-Claude Criquielion, coming just after the nearby côte de Beffe.

Une de mes montées ardennaises préférées. Peut-être parce qu'elle me fait un peu penser à un col de moyenne montagne de ma région natale grenobloise. Si on l'entame trop fort, cette côte peut sembler interminable. Peu de trafic, route assez large, et dans sa première partie (quand je l'ai faite pour la dernière fois il y a trois ans) en assez mauvais état. La partie qui suit le village du Bois d'Arlogne (à partir du km 4 environ) est empruntée par la Vélomédiane-Claude Criquielion, venant juste après la côte de Beffe voisine.

One of those wonderfully long climbs. I did it on a hot day early June and enjoyed it to the fullest. Ardennes solitude at its best!

Zo één van die heerlijk lange klimmen. Ik deed hem op een bloedhete dag begin juni en genoot volop. Ardennes solitude ten top!

From La Roche a nice climb to Cielle (6%). After that a slope to Marcourt and from the bridge in Marcourt to Dochamps. Enjoy!

Vanuit La Roche lekker op te bouwen via het klimmetje naar Cielle (6%). Daarna glooiend naar Marcourt en vanaf de brug in Marcourt naar Dochamps. Genieten!

Lovely long and varied climb. Almost no traffic. One of the most beautiful in the area. You can also choose to turn left after the steep start and drive towards Beffe or right to Cielle and then La Roche. These are beautiful sloping roads on the ridge.

Heerlijke lange en afwisselende klim. Bijna geen verkeer. Een van de mooiste in de omgeving. Je kunt er ook voor kiezen om na het stijle begin naar links af te slaan en richting Beffe te rijden of rechts naar Cielle en dan La Roche. Dat zijn mooie glooiende wegen op de heuvelrug.

A nice climb with also a few short descents! Across the bridge turn right and immediately the gradient rises steeply. Here you can go full speed, then immediately follows a short descent. After this
the road runs through the forest and it's a nice climb. Halfway through you have a longer descent (ideal to replenish energy) and then you climb again! When you enter the forest you're almost there, you can keep on going and then follow the long descent to Erezée.

Heerlijk lopende klim met ook een paar korte afdalingen! Sla over de brug rechtsaf en direct loopt het stijgingspercentage flink op. Hier kan je volle bak aangaan, daarna volgt direct een korte afdaling. Hierna
loopt de weg door het bos en is het lekker klimmen. Halverwege heb je weer een langere afdaling (ideaal om energie aan te vullen) en vervolgens klim je weer lekker door! Als je het bos ingaat ben je er bijna, je kunt nog even flink doorknallen om vervolgens de lange afdaling naar Erezée te volgen.
