Additional Information
Standing at 1912m, Mont Ventoux is known as the 'Giant of Provence', a mass
of bare limestone rock that dominates the region and can be seen from miles
around. The region boasts some fabulous cycling and the climb has become
famously associated with the Tour de France, featuring 14 times since 1951.
We will tackle the climb from Bedoin, passing the Tommy Simpson memorial
along the way before later taking on the climb from Malaucene with its
spectacular views over the valleys below.
