Mur de Durbuy

This 49km cycling route starting in Durbuy offers a challenging loop alternating between valleys, iconic climbs, and typical villages. The profile features several hills concentrated in the first few kilometers, a long, rolling section at the bottom of the valley, and then a sustained finale around the climbs of Petite Somme, Borlon, and the Mur de Durbuy.

After leaving Durbuy, the circuit goes up the Ourthe valley before tackling the first hills towards Septon and the Petit-Han Barrier, whose segments Haie Himbe, Steep!, or Rue Neuve Voie announce a solid warm-up.

The route then crosses the Bois de Chapli, before descending to Barvaux, Oppagne and Ny, where small hills such as Barvaux Hard, Rue Pré Ligné or the variations of the Hazalles segment follow one another.

After Melreux, Monville and Fronville, a more rolling area leads to Deulin and then to Grande Enneille, where the Côte Grande Enneille, Grande-Enneille court and Final de Grande Enneille segments mark a progressive but sustained climb.

The final section becomes significantly tougher with the climb of Petite Somme, structured by the Côte de Petite Somme, TDB segments and the steep sections of Rue des Besses (up to 13.6%), before tackling the return towards Borlon and then the final descent via the Fond de Vedeur stream towards Durbuy.
