Superb ascent, climbed at 30 degrees on 29/5, with 80km under my belt. Suffice to say, I enjoyed it. The view from the summit is magnificent, the road is lightly traveled and the surface is decent (although be careful on the descent). A must-do if you're in the area.... read more

Superbe ascension, escaladée par 30 degrés ce 29/5, avec 80km dans les pattes. Autant dire que j'ai dégusté.
La vue au sommet est magnifique, la route est peu empruntée et le revêtement convenable (attention toutefois dans la descente).
À faire absolument si vous êtes dans le coin.

Heavy climb that starts yellow abruptly in a small street along the main road. The first part is straight up and already very steep. Fortunately, every other night you get some softer percentages. The road surface is much worse here and is so when you turn onto the next steeper stretch. Afterwards it is still raking to the top on the last straight. For the nice view you have to ride up past the parking lot. This is a very tough climb but definitely recommended.

Zware beklimming die geel abrupt in een klein straatje langs de grote baan begint. Het eerste stuk is recht omhoog en al zeer steil. Gelukkig krijg je om het nachtje toch wat zachtere percentages. Het wegdek is hier veel slechter en is dat ook wanneer je de volgende steilere strook opdraait. Nadien is het nog harken tot boven op het laatste rechte stuk. Voor het mooi uitzicht moet je boven voorbij de parking rijden. Dit is een heel zware klim maar zeker een aanrader.

An impressive climb along the Meuse River that immediately begins with solid steepness and little room for rest. The first section runs between houses and immediately sets the tone: constant work with no real recovery. Halfway up you get some breathing room, but then there's a tough final section that keeps challenging you all the way to the top. At the top, a beautiful panorama of the Meuse Valley awaits that makes the effort completely worth it.

Een indrukwekkende klim langs de Maas die meteen begint met stevige steilte en weinig ruimte voor rust. Het eerste deel loopt tussen de huizen door en zet meteen de toon: constant werken zonder echt herstel. Halverwege krijg je even ademruimte, maar daarna volgt nog een zwaar slotstuk dat je tot op de top blijft uitdagen. Boven wacht een prachtig panorama over de Maasvallei dat de inspanning helemaal waard maakt.

A long wall from the Meuse, in 2 sections, both steep. Like the Triple Mur de Lustin, la Gayolle and the Montagne de la Croix, the Sept Meuses is an obligatory Namur classic.

Een lange muur vanaf de Maas, in 2 delen, beiden steil. Net als de Triple Mur de Lustin, la Gayolle en de Montagne de la Croix, is de Sept Meuses een verplichte Naamse klassieker.

A climb completed during the Haute Meuse circuit, which is included in the book les 100 côtes de Belgique and covers the 4 major difficulties in the region.

The climb starts off fairly steep with fairly constant and difficult gradients. It's a nice road and you can have fun contemplating and comparing the big villas 😅. Then you can already see the view. There's a little flat spot and then a hairpin left and it's a steep climb to the top. Compared to the other walls in the region, this is the steadiest climb and it's perhaps not a wall but a nice 10％ climb for 2 kilometres without a wall. At the top beautiful views of the Meuse, you have to leave the path to see it.

Montée réalisée lors du circuit de la Haute Meuse se trouvant dans le livre les 100 côtes de Belgique et empruntant les 4 grosses difficultés de la région.

La montée débute assez fort avec des pourcentages assez constant et difficile. On évolue sur une belle route et peut s'amuser à contempler et comparer les grosses villas 😅. Ensuite on peut déjà apercevoir la vue. Il y a un petit replat puis épingle à gauche et ça monte fort jusqu'au sommet. C'est peut-être le moins gros mur des 4 murs de la région car c'est la plus "constante" mais elle ne présente pas de % à plus de 20%. Au sommet belle vue sur la Meuse, il faut quitter le chemin pour la voir.

Starting from the Meuse, it's a must-do climb, with two beautiful bends and a fairly steep final straight, but at the top you'll be rewarded with a splendid panorama of the Meuse valley and a restaurant. When I was there on a sunny day, there was a bit of traffic, the road wasn't very wide and the surface wasn't the best, especially on the way back down.

En partant de la Meuse c'est une montée à faire absolument, deux belles courbes et une ligne doite finale assez pentue mais au sommet vous serez récompensé par un splendide panorama sur la vallée de la Meuse et un restaurant Lors de mon passage c'était par une journée ensoleillée il y avait un peu de trafic, la route pas très large et le revêtement ce n'est pas le top surtout pour redescendre

This climb shows its true face as soon as you turn up: what you see (steep!) is what you get. Between the houses you climb up to a first steep hairpin bend, then it eases a little before you turn left into a narrow lane. The final section still shows strong teeth, raking to the top. Subjectively, it is hard to tell if Sept Meuses or Triple Mur is now the crown jewel of the region, I am leaning towards the former (Sept Meuses)

Deze klim toont zijn ware gelaat al bij het opdraaien: what you see (steil!) is what you get. Tussen de huizen door klim je tot een eerste steile haarspeldbocht, even zwakt het wat af voor je linksop een smal baantje inrijdt. Het laatste deel toont nog ferm z'n tanden, harken tot boven. Subjectief is het moeilijk uit te maken als Sept Meuses of Triple Mur nu het kroonjuweel van de streek, ik neig naar de eerste (Sept Meuses)

For me, it was absolutely a surprise, I had not expected such a long and steep climb on this side of the Meuse. Unfortunately a very bad road surface in the descent. Fortunately, the view at the top made up for this.

Voor mij absoluut een verrassing, ik had mij niet aan dergelijke lange en steile beklimming verwacht aan deze zijde van de Maas. Helaas een heel slecht wegdek in de afdaling. Het uitzicht boven maakte gelukkig wel iets goed.

A very nice climb with certainly in the beginning a good road surface. The last 'straight' line is very heavy but you will be rewarded with a great view!

Een heel fijne klim met zeker in het begin een goed wegdek. De laatste 'rechte' lijn is heel zwaar maar je wordt beloond met een geweldig uitzicht!

Nice climb on a nice smooth road (in the first half). It is necessary to take it without momentum because the bend at the foot does not allow you to keep your speed. The first part of the climb is very dry, before a flat area and then a hairpin on the right. From here on, the route is shared with the northern side of the Seven Meuses.
Magnificent view at the top, with even on a sunny day the possibility to see paragliders taking off!

Belle ascension sur une belle route bien lisse (dans la première moitié). Il faut la prendre sans élan car le virage au pied ne permet pas de conserver sa vitesse. La première portion monte de facçon très sèche, avant un replat, puis une épingle à cheveux sur la droite. A partir de là, la route est commune avec la côté des sept Meuses nord.
Magnifique vue au sommet, avec même par temps ensoleillé la possibilté de voir des parapentes décoller !

The slope is steep and the difficulties are well distributed. The reward is worth the effort: the view of the 7 Meuse.

Bien pentue et les difficultés sont bien réparties. La récompense vaut les efforts fournis: la vue des 7 Meuses.

Pretty heavy at the end of the ride and especially fully packed. But because it is a bit more gradual, more pleasant than the triple mur the monty. Also more beautiful.

Tip: do not take the descent through the gravel path that is an extension of the top ... then you will have to climb down

Best zwaar op het einde vd rit en vooral volledig bezakt en bepakt. Maar doordat hij iets geleidelijker is, aangenamer als de triple mur de monty. Ook mooier.

Tip: neem niet de afdaling via het gravelpad dat in het verlengde ligt aan de top...dan zal je naar beneden moeten klimmen

Nice climb with a beautiful view over the Meuse valley. Definitely a must.
Maybe number 11 in Belgium in terms of climbing points but in practice it feels a lot easier than, say, the Mur de Huy or Redoute, which are much lower in the rankings. Especially because there's never really a killing strip and there's a recovery strip halfway through.

Leuke klim met een prachtig uitzicht boven over de Maasvallei. Zeker een aanrader.
In klimpunten misschien nummer 11 in Belgie maar in de praktijk voelt deze een pak gemakkelijker aan dan pakweg de Mur de Huy of Redoute , die veel lager in het klassement te vinden zijn. Dit vooral omdat er nooit echt een moordstrook bij is en er halfweg een recuperatie strook in zit
