Climbing Mont Ventoux

The ‘Giant of Provence’ is climbed from Bédoin, first through the forest, then up the slopes of white stones to the summit (1,910 m). The descent via Mont Serein reaches Malaucène before the return to Bédoin. Lots of cyclists: take care on the bends. The summit is closed in winter.
