Quiet road, in fairly poor condition on leaving Vresse, then in OK condition after the left turn towards Orchimont. The climb is gentle until you reach the Orchimont railway station. Things take a turn for the worse once you reach the village. Once at the top, the view over the valley is superb.

Route calme, en assez mauvaise état à la sortie de Vresse, puis état OK après le tourne à gauche vers Orchimont. L'ascension est douce jusqu'au lieu dit de la gare d'Orchimont. Les choses se gâtent une fois dans le village. Une fois en haut, superbe vue sur la vallée.
