A delightful climb, if you prefer to drive uphill on tarmac, take this route!

Een heerlijke beklimming, wanneer je liever geasfalteerd naar boven rijdt, neem dan deze route!

In the run-up, equally steep. Then a short descent where you can gear up. Take your speed for the last bit to the top, then it's definitely doable. Going left to the cobbles is really a lot harder than this variant.

In de aanloop even steil. Daarna een korte afdaling waarin je op kunt schakelen. Neem je snelheid mee voor het laatste stukje naar de top, dan is het zeker goed te doen. Linksaf naar de kasseien is echt een pak zwaarder dan deze variant.

For when you don't fancy the cobblestones for a while, this is a great alternative.

Voor als je even geen zin in de kasseitjes hebt, dan is dit een prima alternatief.

If you pick a choice still go for the cobbles if this one is the easiest of the 4 there is the least fun. But still fun

Als je een keuze pakt toch voor de kasseien gaan als is deze wel de makkelijkste van de 4 daar wel de minst leuke. Maar nog steeds leuk

Longest and least difficult climb of the col du VAM. Slow approach, then a bit steeper, flattening out and a final climb after the turn to the cobblestone path. Part of the beautiful cycling park of Col du VAM and Dak van Drenthe. With smooth asphalt.

Langste en minst zware klim van de col du VAM. Langzame aanloop, dan een stukje wat steiler, afvlakken en nog een laatste klim na de afslag naar het kasseienpad. Onderdeel van het mooie wielerpark van Col du VAM en Dak van Drenthe. Met glad asfalt.

A fun challenge for an inexperienced cyclist. In retrospect, the easiest of the 4 routes. Been there 3x now and it's true: it gets easier!

Voor een onervaren fietser een leuke uitdaging. Achteraf de makkelijkste van de 4 routes. Ben er nu 3x geweest en het klopt: het wordt makkelijker!

Nice to tick off.
But no challenge.
Nice view of the summit.
You can put in a solid workout if you spin around there for about two hours. The one-way traffic is an excellent find.

Leuk om af te vinken.
Maar geen uitdaging.
Mooi zicht op de top.
Je kan er wel een stevige training inlassen als je er een tweetal uurtjes rondjes draait. Het eenrichtingsverkeer is een prima vondst.

Nice climb for when you're in the area. Challenge to cycle up all sides several times.

Leuke klim voor als je in de buurt bent. Uitdaging om alle kanten meerdere keren omhoog te fietsen.

The easiest of the 4 climbs you can do here. The beginning is hard work, but you see it flattening out pretty quickly and when you come to the junction with the cobblestone strip, you get a small piece that is not too hard. Nice warming up for the rest

De makkelijkste van de 4 beklimmingen die je hier kunt doen. Het begin is ff aanpoten, maar je ziet het al vrij snel afvlakken en als je bij de splitsing komt met de kasseienstrook krijg je nog een klein stukje voor je kiezen die niet al te zwaar meer is. Leuke opwarming voor de rest
