Eddy Merckx Loop
Distance
91.5 km
Elevation
1580 m
Difficulty
hard
Right from the start, you’re climbing the legendary Col du Stockeu, with the Eddy Merckx monument waiting at the top. Then it’s straight into the backside of the Côte de Wanne. Once you're through that, things ease up a bit and the legs get a break. At least until the La Vecquée climb shows up halfway through.
In Spa, you’ve got a choice. Grab a coffee or roll on. After that, the RAVeL brings smoother riding and a fast, flowing descent all the way back to Stavelot.
It’s a ride packed with challenging climbs, quiet backroads, and a smooth descent to finish.
