Very nice climb to start with! Easy to get into your rhythm and nice and cool in the woods. Also very little car traffic.

Hele mooie klim om mee te beginnen! Gemakkelijk in je ritme komen en lekker koel in de bossen. Ook zeer weinig autoverkeer.

The beginning is very nice but as you dive into the forest, the tarmac gets worse, the gradients go up and the view is less. Unless you like conifers is not really a hidden gem. However, a tough climb it goes long and once at the top you can relax on the bench.

Het begin is heel mooi maar als je het bos in duikt word het asfalt slechter de stijgingspercentages gaan omhoog en het uitzicht is minder. Tenzij je van naaldbomen houd is dit niet echt een verborgen juweeltje. Wel een pittige klim hij gaat lang door en eenmaal boven kun je mooi op het bankje uitrusten.

I rode this climb (from Cornimont) unintentionally because I wanted to avoid the rush hour to La Bresse. Pleasantly surprised with this choice. It is a quiet road up to the La Vierge, reasonable asphalt and up through a wooded area. Nowhere does it ever get difficult, you can ride it up reasonably steadily. Hidden gem!

Ik reed deze klim (vanuit Cornimont) onbedoeld omdat ik de spits naar La Bresse wou vermijden. Blij verrast met deze keuze. Het is een stille weg omhoog naar de La Vierge, redelijk asfalt en door een bosrijke omgeving omhoog. Nergens wordt hij ooit moeilijk, je kan deze redelijk steady omhoog rijden. Verborgen juweeltje!
