Een lange en geleidelijk opbouwende klim die in het eerste deel nog vrij vriendelijk aanvoelt met een goed te doseren profiel. Na de afslag naar rechts verandert het karakter en wordt het duidelijk steiler en selectiever. Vergeleken met de Haussire-varianten blijft dit de meest toegankelijke versie, al moet je op het tweede deel zeker nog werken tot boven.
This variant of the côte de Haussire can also be considered a more difficult variant of the côte de Samrée, with which the first four kilometres are shared.
Then you take a sharp right turn into the forest and the terrain changes completely: from a wide carriageway to a fairly narrow road, from busy to sparse, the impeccable asphalt becomes dubious... and the gradient increases dramatically. When the gradient becomes gentler, the summit is not far away.
Côte n°448 de l'encyclopédie Cotacol. On peut considérer cette variante de la côte de Haussire également comme une variante plus difficile de la côte de Samrée, avec laquelle les quatre premiers kilomètres sont communs.
Puis on prend un sec virage à droite pour entrer en pleine forêt et le terrain change complètement de nature : d'une chaussée large on passe à une route assez étroite, de fréquentée elle passe à clairsemée, l'asphalte impeccable devient douteux… et la pente augmente drastiquement (un hectomètre à 12% selon Cotacol et les deux suivants à 10%). Lorsqu'elle s'adoucit, le sommet n'est plus très loin : il reste environ un kilomètre à parcourir avec une pente irrégulière mais qui reste moins forte.
