Nice, long and not to be underestimated climb that you can see in the distance if you come from the east. I first drove from Jemelle up the Rue du Congo and then the Rue de Fays after which you can turn left to descend to Forrières. Next to La Chavée you also have a view on the green Arboretum of the village of the same name that stretches out on the other flank of the Ruisseau de Bonnefosse. Once at La Chavée, however, you don't have much time to enjoy it, especially if you're going to be pulling up the decimal percent for 400m. Fortunately, the tarmac is not too bad and before you know it, it flattens out again while leaving civilization behind you. Before you reach the top, you turn left into a forest where you have to deal with the last few metres of slope. Here you can enjoy the view again and finish the climb by really riding over the hill and following the high voltage line that follows the same route as you. With some imagination, you can imagine yourself in the Alps under a ski lift!
Leuke, lange en niet te onderschatten klim die je in te verre kan zien liggen als je van het oosten komt. Ik reed eerst vanuit Jemelle hellingen Rue du Congo en vervolgens de Rue de Fays op waarna je links kan opdraaien om af te dalen naar Forrières. Naast La Chavée heb je zo ook zicht op het groene Arboretum van het gelijkname dorp dat zich op de andere flank van de Ruisseau de Bonnefosse uitstrekt. Eens op La Chavée heb je echter nog weinig tijd om hier van te genieten, zeker als je 400m lang de decimale percenten optrekt. Gelukkig valt het tarmac meer dan mee en voor je het weet vlakt het alweer af terwijl je ook de beschaving achter je laat. Voor je boven bent draai je nog links een stuk bos in waar je de laatste meters helling te verwerken krijgt. Hier kan je beslist wel opnieuw genieten van het uitzicht waarna je de klim afwerkt door echt over de heuvel te rijden en je de hoogspanningslijn volgt die er hetzelfde traject als jou op na houdt. Met wat verbeelding waan je je in de alpen onder een skilift !
