Tour of Flanders climbs

Stay in Oudenaarde

Oudenaarde is a practical starting point for the four-climb core of Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Koppenberg and Taaienberg. Regional tourism routes start at the Tour of Flanders Centre. Their complete circuits include connecting roads; the figures below cover only the individual climbs.

Keep the Muur and Bosberg as another outing

Muur van Geraardsbergen and Bosberg belong to the race’s history and lie farther east than the Oudenaarde group. Treat them as a separate ride or transfer day. Including them here does not mean they appear on the latest race route.

A different kind of climbing trip

Short distances can conceal sustained steep ramps. Cobbles also change the ride compared with a smooth Alpine road. Use the profiles to compare the selected climbs and plan a connected route before setting out. For another compact group of short climbs, see South Limburg below.

Flanders or the Ardennes?

This selection centres on the cobbled hills around Oudenaarde, with Muur and Bosberg farther east. La Redoute, Stockeu and Rosier belong to the Belgian Ardennes and have their own collection. Keep the two destinations separate when choosing accommodation and building a ride; they are not neighbouring hills on one local circuit.
