Cycling the mythical Mont Ventoux & Provence

Omnipresent in the landscape of Provence, which it dominates from its 1909 m altitude, the Mont Ventoux is a giant. From its summit, the panorama opens onto the Alps, the Massif Central and the Mediterranean. But to do so will require great determination. All around Mont Ventoux, under its bare top, lie wild gorges, orchards, olive trees, world famous vineyards, lavender fields and some of the most beautiful villages in France. A bike tour to Mont Ventoux and its surroundings is a must. No doubt.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mont Ventoux
  • Dentelles of Montmirail & Nesque Gorges
  • Perched Villages of the Luberon
  • Senanque Abbey & Wine tasting (included in the guided version)

    That’s why you came here. It is here that the Tour de France wrote its legend, it is the mythical summit that every cyclist dreams of conquering, like Bobet or Pantani. The ascent of Mont Ventoux from Bédoin is by far the most difficult, the most famous too. These are 21 kilometres of ascent, 1600 metres of altitude difference, an average slope of 7.5% (8.9% since the turn of St Estève), slopes reaching 11.5% and almost no opportunity for respite.

    On the way back, we will slide along the Gorges de la Nesque to finish this incredible day.
