Climb to Baraque de Fraiture

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Isn't really to the Fraiture. More the climb to Odeigne + the spur to the main track to Baraque de Fraiture.

Houffalize is a beautiful city in the Ardennes with more than 5000 inhabitants and is also called the flower city. Houffalize is located on the river Ourthe in the vast Natural Park of the Two Ourthes. Due to this beautiful location and the hilly surroundings, Houffalize has become the Ardennes capital of mountain biking.

Lovely little road

Highlight • Trail

It is a jolie petite route indeed but the quality of the asphalt is not always great. It's more suited for a gentle cruise. If you want to race down to la Roche, better take a different route.

La Roche-en-Ardenne Castle and Old Town

Highlight • Castle

La Roche-en-Ardenne is called the pearl of the Ardennes. Its castle, its narrow streets, its numerous squares on the banks of the Ourthe explain this success.
The very popular Place du Bronze and the Place du Marché are worth a visit in themselves. You can have a coffee or a meal there.

The Col d'Haussire, located two pedal strokes from the town, is considered one of the most difficult passes in Belgium.

Col de Haussire

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Very nice climb. Small, narrow and very peaceful road in a forest environment. Personally, I absolutely do not find this climb to be the most difficult in Belgium. The ascent is even very pleasant, the gradient is reasonable and constant.

Climb La Roche–Cielle via N89 and Rue du Paradis

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This little bucolic road with an enchanting name (Route du Paradis) takes you to Cielle. It avoids the national road to approach La Roche-en-Ardenne from the heights.

Fortunately, the weather was dry and pleasant in the Ardennes: chouffeclassic.be. Didn't do the long route, but including the journey there and back it was 140 km and 2400 metres of elevation.
