The most difficult variant to climb Mount Saint-Aubert. It starts to rise relatively gently in the middle of the fields. From about 1 km onwards, at the place called Le Reposoir, the road descends briefly and becomes narrow, before climbing upwards again in steep gradients. At around 1800m there is an astonishing hairpin to the left, rated at 17 ％ by Cotacol, and which requires a good burst of energy to get through!

A varied and characterful climb that lets you start quietly among the fields, but then challenges you more and more. The rhythm becomes irregular, with some tough sections and a surprisingly steep kink that really shoots into the legs. The narrower roads and rural character give the climb extra charm, especially as you get closer to the top and the scenery becomes a bit more open.

Een afwisselende en karaktervolle klim die je rustig laat starten tussen de velden, maar je daarna steeds meer uitdaagt. Het ritme wordt onregelmatig, met enkele stevige stroken en een verrassend steil knikje dat echt in de benen schiet. De smallere wegen en het landelijke karakter geven de klim extra charme, zeker wanneer je dichter bij de top komt en de omgeving wat opener wordt.

This side is the prettiest and least busy in terms of traffic. The slope starts gingerly, with a nasty bend towards the end. Nice in combination with Knokteberg and Kluisberg. This way, you do get some altitude metres in this region.

Deze kant is de mooiste en minst druk qua verkeer. De helling start gezapig, met naar het einde toe een nijdige bocht. Leuk in combinatie met de Knokteberg en de Kluisberg. Zo krijg je in deze streek toch wat hoogtemeters voor de kiezen.

For me, the most beautiful side to ride up mont st Aubert. I have my doubts about the precentages on the graph here. Towards the end then a solid turn of 17 ％. small narrow lane nice view of the fields. At the top definitely ride around for the view instead of turning back down before the mini roundabout.

Voor mij de mooiste kant om de mont st Aubert naar omhoog te rijden. Ik heb mijn twijfels over de precentages die hier in de grafiek staan. Naar het einde toen een stevige bocht van 17 ％. klein smal baantje mooi zicht op de velden. Boven zeker eens rondrijden voor het uitzicht ipv van voor de mini rotonde terug te keren naar beneden.

I had already ridden up Mont Saint-Aubert via the normal road but this side is a lot harder. Admittedly I already had a lot of kilometres in my legs but I still insist. First you ride on a nice narrow road through the fields. It is very uneven and gets steeper quickly. Just before the housing it gets steepest. Then it becomes flat for a while as you cycle between the houses until you turn right for the final punch. The views there are beautiful, even while climbing. The road does leave something to be desired. If the weather is nice at the weekend, it can be crowded with hikers. Still, definitely recommended

Ik had de Mont Saint-Aubert al opgereden via de normale weg maar deze kant is toch een pak lastiger. Toegegeven ik had al veel kilometers in de benen maar toch blijf ik er bij. Je rijdt eerst op een mooi smal wegje doorheen de velden. Het is heel onregelmatig en wordt snel steiler. Vlak voor de behuizing wordt het het steilste. Dan wordt het even vlak als je tussen de huizen fietst tot je rechts opdraait voor de laatste punch. Het uitzicht is er prachtig, ook tijdens het klimmen. De weg laat wel wat te wensen over. Als het mooi weer is in het weekend kan het er druk zijn met wandelaars. Toch zeker een aanrader

My favourite side of Mont-Saint-Aubert. It starts gradually, has 2 sections where you can recuperate a bit, and a very steep section just before the reposoir ... It's very quiet there.

Mijn favoriete kant van Mont-Saint-Aubert. Hij begint geleidelijk, kent 2 stukken waar je wat kan recupereren, en een zeer steil stuk net voor de reposoir ... Het is er zeer rustig.

Spicy climb that initially starts quietly on the Chemin des Pilotes, turns into the Rue de la Folle. It includes a nasty hairpin bend.

Pittige beklimming die aanvankelijk rustig begint op de Chemin des Pilotes, gaat over naar de Rue de la Folle. Er zit een nijdige haarspeldbocht in.

Nicest of the 3 ways up Mt St Aubert. There is a short steep bend in it, but otherwise this is not a very difficult climb.

Mooiste van de 3 mogelijkheden om Mt St Aubert op te fietsen. Er zit een kort steil knikje in, maar voor de rest is dit geen al te lastige klim

Then the road becomes even narrower, passes through the middle of the houses, before rejoining the standard route more or less 100 m from the summit (watch out for cars at this junction, which is a very short descent).

La variante la plus difficile pour grimper le mont Saint-Aubert. Elle commence à s'élever relativement doucement au milieu des champs. À partir du kilomètre environ, au lieu-dit Le Reposoir, la route redescend brièvement et devient étroite, avant de remonter dans les pourcentages. Vers les 1800 m se présente une étonnante épingle à cheveux vers la gauche, évaluée à 17 ％ par Cotacol, et qui nécessite un bon sursaut d'énergie pour la passer ! Ensuite la route devient encore plus étroite, passe au milieu des habitations, avant de rejoindre l'itinéraire standard à plus ou moins 100 m du sommet (attention aux voitures à ce croisement, qui se fait dans une très brève descente).
