Magnificent climb! As far as I'm concerned the best of the day (which also includes Rue Tesny, Haute Folie and Drolenval). At the top you hardly notice that it's 10%, so focused are you on keeping your bike straight on the terribly laid cobblestones. The descent is typical Belgian, very dangerous, bad tarmac and continuous drainage bumps. Nevertheless, highly recommended, cobblestones in Wallonia!... read more

Absolute highlight, a cobbled climb with a beautiful view of Liege and its rural surroundings at the end. At the beginning of the climb you can avoid the cobblestones with a concrete strip in the middle, but after a left and right turn you will have to face them for the last few hundred meters. Fortunately, in the middle of the cobblestone strip there is a narrow strip of well-placed cobblestones, so even that strip is not insurmountable. The view there is really beautiful. Highly recommended!

Absolute topper, een kasseienklim met op het eind een prachtig uitzicht op Luik en diens landelijke omgeving. Aan het begin van de klim kun je de kasseien overigens ontwijken door een betonstrook die in het midden is aangelegd, maar na een knik naar links en weer naar rechts zul je er de laatste paar honderd meters toch echt aan moeten geloven. Gelukkig ligt in het midden van de kasseienstrook een smal strookje goed geplaatste kasseien, dus ook die strook is noet onoverkomelijk. Het uitzicht is daar werkelijk prachtig. Een absolute aanrader dus!!

Magnificent climb made harder by the presence of cobbles. Reminiscent of the cobbles at the Tour of Flanders.

Magnifique montée qui est rendue plus dure par la présence de pavé. Cela peut faire pensée à des pavés du Tour des Flandres.

A magnificent climb worthy of the cobbles of Flanders. In the space of a moment, you go from town to country. The scenery at the summit is splendid, and with a Gravel, the passage through the Ry-Ponnet landscaped park allows you to join the roads to Beyne-Heusay, Herve, ...

Magnifique montée digne des pavés flandriens. On passe en l'espace d'un instant de la ville à la campagne. Le paysage au sommet est splendide et avec un Gravel, le passage dans le parc paysager du Ry-Ponnet permet de rejoindre les routes vers Beyne-Heusay, Herve, ...

Aux Pieds Roux is the first (or last) climb along the banks of the Vesdre, it does not have the same reputation as its big sisters, Trasenster, Côte de Forêt, Bouny, etc... but it is no less interesting because of its difference in altitude, its surfaces and above all its change of scenery. In 5 minutes, you go from the hubbub of the city to the calm of the countryside!

Aux Pieds Roux est la première côte (où la dernière) qui longe les rives de la Vesdre, elle n'a pas la même réputation que ses grandes sœurs que sont Trasenster, la Côte de Forêt, le Bouny, etc ... mais elle n'en est pas moins intéressante de par son dénivelé, ses revêtements et surtout son dépaysement. En 5 minutes, on passe du brouhaha de la ville au calme de la campagne !

Wonderful bit of climbing this! Through the agglomeration, you ride quite fast uphill through a green area where the houses start to exchange for breathtaking views to the right. In the middle of the first part of the cobbles there are concrete slabs, so you can perfectly avoid them, but for the next sector "pavés" you can forget that. Once you get to that one, you ride up through the fields on the plateau and there they are indeed lousy. With a bit of bad luck, the wind also plays tricks on you there. A quiet climb with many faces, possibly to combine with the Ravel, for which you should definitely make a detour!

Prachtig stukje klimmen dit! Door de agglomeratie rijdt je vrij snel door een groene omgeving omhoog waar de huizen zich steeds meer beginnen in te wisselen voor adembenemende verzichten op rechts. Midden het eerste stuk kasseien liggen er betonnen platen, dus die kan je perfect ontwijken, maar voor de volgende sector "pavés" mag je dat vergeten. Eens je die aansnijdt, rijdt je door de velden op het plateau naar boven en daar liggen ze inderdaad erbarmelijk bij. Met een beetje pech speelt de wind je daar ook parten. Een rustig klimmetje met veel gezichten, eventueel te combineren met de Ravel, waar je beslist voor mag omrijden !

Great climb! Like Himmelsbla says: you don't notice that it's 10% because the cobblestones are really disgusting hahaha. But that makes it even better. I didn't see anyone on the climb, so it was very quiet. The view you have is very nice! Be careful in the descent because it is dangerous indeed. Your

Heerlijke klim! Zoals Himmelsbla al zegt: je merkt niet dat het 10% is want de kasseien liggen er echt bagger in hahaha. Maarja dat maakt het eigenlijk alleen maar mooier hè. Ik ben op de klim niemand tegengekomen, erg rustig dus. Het uitzicht wat je hebt is erg mooi! Let wel op in de afdaling want die is gevaarlijk inderdaad. Je

Prachtige klim! Wat mij betreft de lekkerste van de dag (met daarin ook Rue Tesny, Haute Folie en Drolenval). Je merkt bovenin nauwelijks dat het 10% is, zo gefocust ben je op het recht houden van je fiets op de vreselijk liggende kasseien. De afdaling is typisch Belgisch, levensgevaarlijk, slecht asfalt en continu afwateringshobbels. Desondanks absoluut een aanrader, kasseien in Wallonië!
