Mont Ventoux summit

Highlight • Summit

It is on the square in front of the old summit observatory that most of the cyclists who climb Mont Ventoux meet because the sign “summit of Mont Ventoux 1,912 meters” is there and all the climbers of the whole world wants to take the famous photo. There is sometimes a queue.

On this square are the Belvedere of Provence which offers views of the Albion plateau to the Mediterranean and the Belvedere of the Alps which opens onto the northern part. On a clear day, you can clearly see the department of Drôme, the Pre-Alps and the Alps.

By climbing slightly to the base of the antenna, you will be able to read below written on the ground, in large figures, the new official measurement of the Giant of Provence by the IGN: 1,910 meters.

2024 🇨🇵 1️⃣ Provence MV 04_Mont Ventoux 1,912 m, the highest mountain in Provence, I imagined 🙈😎.
Instead of the original 14 km (first picture, start at the lift station), it was 8.5 km, but with the snow, wind and fog I shortened the tour 🤔🇨🇵🥾. And it was cold too. Today there was a well-organized mountain race, I read …

September 6, 2023,Mont Ventoux – boucle dans le Parc naturel régional du Mont-Ventoux

Nice route, but unfortunately it's not moderately difficult. It goes up very steeply in parts, on unpaved paths, the part with the serpentines is sometimes dangerous because it leads very close to the abyss.
Only recommended for people who are comfortable on foot.
But all in all a nice route.
