The Mur de Huy, a stage for the greatest feats! In 2025, the legend grew even further as Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar and the Netherlands’ Puck Pieterse conquered its slopes to claim victory, adding their names to the roll of honour of this now iconic site.
A history deeply rooted in cycling
The love story between Huy and cycling dates back to 1869, when a race was organised during the annual fair. In 1919, the city built a velodrome, confirming its commitment to the sport. In 1936, La Flèche Wallonne first passed through Huy before the city became the finish location in 1983, along the Meuse at quai d’Arona.
The Mur de Huy, an iconic finish
Two years later, the Mur de Huy hosted the race finish for the first time, and it has remained inseparable from the event ever since. In 1998, the women’s race also made it its home, further strengthening the bond between the Ardennes classic and the city.
A place of passion and challenge
Huy has also welcomed the Tour de France in 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2015, creating lasting memories for its residents. Today, thousands of amateur cyclists take on the Mur de Huy each year, testing themselves against its slopes and following in the footsteps of the sport’s greatest champions.
