This route dives straight into the soul of the Ardennes. Right from the start, you’ll roll past Brasserie Chouffe, home of the iconic La Chouffe beer. From there, it’s a mix of rolling terrain that carries you to the scenic reservoir lake of Coo. A perfect spot to pause for a coffee or bite at Le Coffee Ride.
From there, the RAVeL path rolls you into Stavelot, setting you up for the classic Col du Stockeu. After that punchy climb, you’ll drop down Côte de Wanne and head straight into Côte de Mont-le-Soie. The final stretch winds through the rolling countryside past Vielsalm, guiding you back to Houffalize.
It’s a demanding but fun loop
