Mount Vidaigne rises gradually over good asphalt and gets some extra punch towards the end. Above all, its green, quiet character and smooth rhythm make this a pleasant climb that combines well with other nearby slopes.

From Westouter you can knit together a number of climbs 'knit'. First the Langedreef to take the descent from the Vidaigneberg to Westouter village, then the Schominkeltje to descend via the Langedreef to Westouter village and as a third climb you take the Vidaigneberg. You can finish with the Baneberg.

The first part of 'Zwarteberg from Westouter via Vidaigneberg' (got 3 stars from me because it continues for a bit on the busier road). This climb is nicer on its own and stops when you reach the main road. Gradually you climb towards the 10％. You cover the steepest metres of this climb among the greenery. Very pleasant on hot summer days. Good asphalt and then combine with a few more climbs.

Good asphalt and a gradual ascent to that magical 8％ where you can just keep on stomping with the same cadence during short climbs. Combinable by doing the narrow descent of the long road on the right at the top and directly connecting to the Rodeberg + Baneberg.

Very pleasant climb, starts calm with a bit steeper part at the end but still doable. Road surface is also good. This climb can be combined with climbs in the neighbourhood like Baneberg, scherpenberg, Kemmelberg etc.
