Descent of Mont Ventoux to Malaucène

Highlight • Trail

Very fast descent in the first part with its long straight lines and its steep slope.

The second part through the forest is more winding while remaining fast if you know how to negotiate the turns well.

The climb is done in an epic chill in 2h10 roughly before switching back to Sault.
We break down a balanced meal based on coke, coffee, …

The climb from Sault is not a problem. At the very top of the summit, the mistral blows towards you. In addition, around 600 Dutch racing cyclists were on the mountain with their families. What fun. But this mountain is a must on a Provence trip.
