Highlight • Cycleway

Pretty pass with superb landscapes of surrounding vineyards. A good warm-up before Ventoux, and a must between Bédoin and Malaucène.

The Nesque gorges are breathtaking views, a long but very gentle and gradual climb, asphalt of impeccable quality. A dream route that fulfills all the wishes of the happy cyclist one by one. You can't get enough of these gorges.

Northern Route of Mont Ventoux

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice quiet road north of Mont Ventoux. This side is often forgotten by cyclists, preferring to ride south of Bedoin, however this side is certainly worth the detour.
