This tour offers fantastic riding in the Ardennes and Limburg regions. The Ardennes, a popular tourist region, has extensive forests, rolling hills and mountains. It's known for its scenic beauty and wide range of outdoor activities such as cycling, hunting, walking and canoeing. The scenic Limburg region is one of the few areas in the country that has hills, so get ready to climb!

• Amstel Gold, held in the Limburg region, delivers a milieu of successive steep, narrow climbs (31 in all). Dutch fans line the roads and pack into outdoor beer gardens to cheer on the pros as they race across treacherously narrow roads. The course ends atop the Cauberg climb (the place to be if you're in the party mood). This course favors climbers and hilly course specialists. Click here for a slideshow of the 2010 race.

• La Flèche Wallonne, a 124-mile mid-week event, starts in Charleroi and heads east to Huy. The riders tackle a circuit that includes the steep Mur de Huy (Wall of Huy) climb. The Mur boasts several sections steeper than 15%, making the finish at the top after three laps a true battle of strength.

• Liège-Bastogne-Liège, one of the oldest one-day races in Europe, first took place in 1894. The second half contains most of the infamous climbs, such as the Haute-Levée, La Redoute and Saint-Nicolas. The successive hills provide ample opportunity for riders to attack, always ending in an exciting and tactical finish.
