A short climb, but not too easy. Typically arriving from the Alzette cycle path (Polvermillen), you pass through the Rue du Fort Dumoulin, which starts without a slope. The first part of the climb is already steep and very narrow. There is a strip of cobblestone in the middle. You need to be careful, as shortly after the start of the climb, the cycle path from the "Bisserwee" crosses on the left-hand side, a very busy path.

A short climb, but not too easy. Typically arriving from the Alzette cycle path (Polvermillen), you pass through the Rue du Fort Dumoulin, which starts without a slope. The first part of the climb is already steep and very narrow. There is a strip of cobblestone in the middle. You need to be careful, as shortly after the start of the climb, the cycle path from the "Bisserwee" crosses on the left-hand side, a very busy path. If you continue straight ahead, the climb remains steep and you cross the railway tracks after a tight hairpin bend. From here the climb becomes a little easier and you reach the Institut National des Sports stadium. There is little traffic and, apart from the cobbled strip at the start, the road is in good condition.

Courte montée qui n'est cependant pas trop facile à faire. En arrivant typiquement depuis la piste cyclalble de l'Alzette (Polvermillen), on passe par la rue du fort Dumoulin qui commence sans pente. Puis, la première partie de l'ascension est déjà raide et très étroite. Il y a une bande de pavé au milieu. Faut faire attention puisque peu après le début de la montée, il y a le croisement de la piste cyclable depuis le "Bisserwee" du côté gauche, piste très fréquentée. En continuant tout droit, l'ascension demeure raide et on traverse les voies ferrées après une épingle serrée. À partir de là l'ascension devient un peu plus facile et on arrive au stade de l'Institut national des Sports. Il y a peu de trafic et, hormis pour la bande de pavé au début, l'état de la route est bon.
