The hardest sportive of the spring classics, the full route of Liege Bastogne Liege is a full 271km and a massive 4,400 metres of climbing - more than Stelvio Santini or the Etape du Tour! The following day is the final pro race of the spring classics making this a great weekend to explore a rarely visited part of Belgium.

We offer a hotel for 2 or 3 nights in Liege so it's easy to get to both the start and the finish of the Sportive as well as to watch the Pro race the next day. For amateur riders, the ultimate challenge is to cover the entire distance of Liège-Bastogne-Liège like the pros the following day. Famous hills such as the Côte de Saint-Roch (the wall of Houffalize), Côte de Wanne, Côte de Stockeu will make an impression on the longest distance of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Challenge. Shorter distance of 147k and 70 km are also available with all Sportive distances starting and finishing in Liege.

Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes take place on April 24 in 2022. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is the 4th Monument of the season. As it has been around for so long, it’s also called ‘La Doyenne des Classiques’ (the old lady of the classics). LBL marks the end of the Ardennes Classics period usually as Amstel Gold, Fleche Wallonne and LBL follow on from each other in a week. It also spells the end for the Spring Classics season as the next stop is the Giro d’Italia for many of the riders.

Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the oldest of the classics will start from the Quai des Ardennes in Liege. Several of the peloton’s top riders will compete to add LBL to their Palmares. Enjoy VIP access to the Start, the Finish, Start and Finish or book our VIP Full day experience.
