A regular climb where the slope increases gently and gradually. You have the impression of being in a bubble, a cocoon ... it's long but it's not the Ventoux 😉 The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIrgv98u9s0... read more

Une montée régulière ou la pente augmente doucement et progressivement. On a un peu l'impression d'être dans une bulle, un cocon ... c'est long mais ce n'est pas le Ventoux 😉

The Haussire variant is listed in the Cotacol encyclopaedia (climb no. 450) as the most difficult climb in Belgium with its 363 Cotacol points.

The variants via rue Goyette and Parc à Gibier contain descending portions that are too long to meet the encyclopaedia's strict criteria: for a climb longer than 1 km, the cumulative descending portions must not exceed 10 ％ of the total length of the climb, and the cumulative flat and descending portions may not exceed 15 ％ of the total length.

In terms of describing this climb, it is actually presented as a link between the beginning of the Parc à Gibier hill and the end of Haussier-sud. Compared to these variants, it is worth the trip mainly for its ranking at the top of the Cotacol encyclopedia :-)

Voici la véritable variante de Haussire qui figure dans l'encyclopédie Cotacol comme montée la plus difficile de Belgique ! (Côte n°450, 363 points Cotacol.)

Les variantes par la rue Gohette (Trou Bourbon) et la côte du Parc à Gibier contiennent en effet des portions descendantes trop longues pour satisfaire aux critères rigoureux de l'encyclopédie : pour une côte de longueur supérieure à 1 km, les portions descendantes cumulées ne doivent pas excéder 10 ％ de la longueur totale de la côte, et les portions plates et descendantes cumulées ne peuvent excéder 15 ％ de la longueur totale.

Pour ce qui est de décrire cette montée, elle se présente en fait comme une liaison entre le début de la côte du Parc à Gibier et la fin de Haussier-sud. Par rapport à ces variantes, elle vaut le déplacement essentiellement pour son classement en tête de l'encyclopédie Cotacol :-)
