The flagship route is around 150km with roughly 2,200m of climbing, stacked into 30-plus short steep bergs rather than any single big mountain. Shorter options run from about 65km up to the full ~240km pro parcours.

Intervals.icu

Death by a thousand cuts

Typical sessions

Dozens of short steep bergs, most under 2km but with vicious out-of-saddle ramps

The Keutenberg wall ramps to ~22%, brutal on tired legs late in the day

Repeated 30-second to 3-minute efforts that stack anaerobic and neuromuscular fatigue

A cool, changeable April day on narrow, sometimes damp Limburg lanes

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Berg Reps: 10 to 15 x 1 to 2min at 110-130% FTP, the core Amstel demand

VO2 intervals: 5 to 6 x 3min at 115-120% FTP for anaerobic capacity

Over-unders: 5 x (3min at 90% / 2min at 105%) for the rolling-then-punchy rhythm

A weekend hill-rep cluster ride, plus punchy reps saved for the final hour of a long ride
