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 in dominant fashion, adding their names to the pantheon of this now iconic site.
A history deeply rooted in cycling
The love story between Huy and cycling dates back to August 1869, when a race was organised during the annual fair. In 1919, the city built a velodrome, confirming its commitment to cycling. In 1936, La Flèche Wallonne first appeared in Huy before the city became the official 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 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 come alive with the Tour de France, which passed through the city in 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2015, leaving lasting memories for its residents, who eagerly await its return. Today, La Flèche Wallonne is inseparable from Huy and its Mur. Throughout the year, thousands of amateur cyclists take on the climb, stopwatch in hand, stepping into the shoes of puncheurs as they follow in the tracks of the sport’s greatest champions.
