Pont-de-Sçay - Trois-Ponts and back along the Amblève 100 km

This cycling tour takes you along the Amblève River from its mouth into the Ourthe river near Pont-de-Sçay/Rivage to Trois-Ponts and back. The route includes various climbs among which the famous Côte de la Redoute, usually on quiet roads through woods and meadows with great views. The tour is suited for the racing bike. Your ride parts of the sometimes busy road between Pont-de-Sçay via Remouchamps to Trois-Ponts through the Amblève valley, but most other roads are very quiet. You can find places to eat and drink at e.g. Pont-de-Sçay, Remouchamps, Coo, Trois-Ponts and Aywaille. You can park at the start on a wide stretch of cobblestones. I marked the trip 'average', but there are some steep hills and some might rate it difficult due to the steep hills and overall ascent.
From the start you take the cycling routh along the Amblève to where the river flows into the Ourthe at Rivage. You then turn back and start the climb of the Côte de Fraiture out of the valley. The climb is through wood and built-up area. The road flattens off after Fraiture and the the views are great. You continue to Rouvreux and Florzé and then descend to Aywaile. Here you the cycling path Voie des Aulnes along and across the river to Remouchamps. Here you cross the river again and start the climb of the famous Côte de la Redoute. A steep climb across pasture, too steep to enjoy the view which you will have at top. You then descend back to Remouchamps via Playe. In Remouchamps you take the N633 through the Amblève valley, following the river past the E25 viaduct, Nonceveux and Ninglinspo and Quarreux until you reach the turn-off for the La Lienne valley. You cross the Amblève and start the climb of the quiet Côte de Xhierfomont with 2 hairpins and medium quality asphalt. Past Xhierfomont village, the views are great, and you descend to Rahier. Here you take the road to Cheneux and descend back to the Amblève. After the river crossing you take the smaller road Gare de la Gleize along the railway track before ascending to La Gleize. Here you follow the N633 to Coo, where you take a look at the famous waterfall of Coo, a very touristic place. You climb a bit out of Coo and then descend back to the Amblève and take the climb Thier de Coo, a quite steep climb. After the climb you descend to Parfondruy and then to the RAVeL L145 cycling path, the last stretch on bad asphalt. The cycling path is great, on a former railway track, and takes you to Trois-Ponts. Here you leave the cycling path where the former railway joins the still functioning railway between Liège and Luxemburg. You cross the Ambléve again, where the Salm flows into it, and ride to the start of the climb Côte de Brume. This climb starts steep in the built-up area and then crosses quiet countryside to the top in the woods. You descend a bit on the N66, and continue the descent on quiet road to Froidville, and then a road that is not well-paved to Moulin de Rahier in the valley of La Lienne. You follow the valley a bit and then climb the Hes Grevis to Chession, descend, and climb the Côte de Lorcé to the E25 highway. Here you descend to the Amblève valley near Aywaille. You join the N633 and follow this road back to Pont-de-Sçay through Aywaille, and past a large quarry. I tried a cycling path at Aywaille along the Amblève, but this turned into a very badly paved path at the end, so the N633 is better. In Pont-de-Sçay you arrive back to the start.
The height profile is a bit off as ambient pressure rose during my trip. There was definitely no part of the trip below sea level… Start and end at around 105 meters. Highest point at around 400 meters. There is no hill at 91 km…
