A very pleasant climb! It's never a steep climb, but it's mainly the length that makes it a must-do. Not to mention the fact that it takes you to the highest point in Belgium! For a good part of the route, there's a wide cycle path in very good condition.... read more

Montée très agréable ! Ca ne monte jamais fort, mais c'est surtout la longueur qui en fait un point de passage quasi obligé. En plus du fait qu'on arrive au point culminant de la Belgique !
Sur une bonnne partie de l'itinéraire, on bénéficie d'une large piste cyclable en très bon état

You don't have much choice when cycling from this region towards Signal de Botrange. Not tough in terms of percentages, but if you have the wind against you here you will curse this 'climb'. Fine as preparatory training for the real mountains. Because of the cycle lane along this busy road - where people often drive too fast - still preferable to the road from Eupen.

Veel keus heb je niet als je vanuit deze regio richting Signal de Botrange fietst. Niet zwaar qua percentages, maar als je hier de wind tegen hebt ga je deze 'klim' vervloeken. Fijn als voorbereidende training op de echte bergen. Vanwege de fietsstrook langs deze drukke weg - waar vaak te hard wordt gereden - nog altijd te prefereren boven de weg vanuit Eupen.

Except for its length, this climb is not physically tough, but mentally it hurts because especially the first part seems endless with a long stretch in the beginning until the first bend, which you can really see going up from Jalhay, and the last dead straight stretch of almost 3 kilometres until the road from Eupen (at the end nice views to the back!). The bulk of this does have a good cycle lane. Thank goodness because cars're often driven very fast there. Then you come to the road to Malmedy which fortunately has some more bends and where the percentages soon decrease. From Baraque Michel on there is only a slight slope. By the way, the last part now also has a bicycle lane.
Hard to gauge this one: Fun? Mwah... of course it's a good challenge with lots of altimeters. And there's not really an alternative from Jalhay. The fact that large parts have a bicycle lane does make a difference and the surroundings are beautiful.

Op de lengte na is deze klim fysiek niet zwaar, maar mentaal doet deze wel pijn want vooral het eerste deel lijkt eindeloos te duren met in het begin een lang stuk tot de eerste bocht, wat je vanuit Jalhay echt ziet oplopen, en het laatste kaarsrechte stuk van vrijwel 3 kilometer tot de weg vanuit Eupen (op het eind mooi uitzicht naar achteren!). Het grootse deel hiervan heeft wel een goede fietsstrook. Gelukkig maar want er wordt door de auto's vaak heel hard gereden. Daarna kom je op de weg naar Malmedy waar gelukkig wat meer bochten in zitten en waarbij de percentages al snel afnemen. Vanaf Baraque Michel is er nog maar een lichte glooiing. Het laatste deel heeft trouwens tegenwoordig ook een fietsstrook.
Moeilijk te peilen deze: Leuk? Mwah... het is natuurlijk wel een goede uitdaging met veel hoogtemeters. En een alternatief is er niet echt vanuit Jalhay. Feit dat grote delen een fietsstrook hebben scheelt iig wel en de omgeving is fraai.
