Itinerary
If you are traveling as a group, you will arrive at Marseille airport and have a transfer to Bedoin. If you are traveling alone, it's better to take the Eurostar to Paris and the TGV to Avignon, as your transfer will be much cheaper.
Your journey is entirely flexible, so you choose when and where to ride. However, we recommend cycling through the Gorges de la Nesque to warm up your legs, with wonderful views, and exploring Val de Sault. Explore the lavender fields, olive groves, and vineyards.
Here comes the main event. 21.5 km ascent with 1,912 meters of positive elevation gain to conquer the legend of Mont Ventoux from Bedoin. The climb can be divided into 3 sections, with a first section having a manageable average gradient of 4.5% until reaching Saint-Esteve. You'll enter the vegetation with little wind but a 10% average gradient up to Chalet Reynard. From there, the vegetation will disappear, and you'll find yourself in a lunar landscape, also known for its winds. 1.5 km from the finish, you'll encounter the monument to Tom Simpson and a final series of hairpin turns until you reach the summit of Mont Ventoux.
