Mont Ventoux

The legendary Mont Ventoux (1.909 m), the 'Giant of la Provence' is a real challenge, even for well-trained cyclists with over 21 km of constant climbing. The full 110 km ride starts 37 km south east of the main climb in the picturesque village of Sault passing lavender lined roads as it twists its way to the climbs start in Bedoin via the very scenic Gorges du Nesque. After this you can take in the most well known side of the Ventoux, past its ever changing forests & out into the moonscape terrain at the top. If after reaching the top you have energy left for more you can descend down the western side as there is still a slightly challenging 53 km ride to the finish in Montbrun.
