Granfondo, the main event

Climbing Mont Ventoux by bike is as difficult as it is legendary. Renowned as one of the most demanding climbs in France, it is the goal of a lifetime or a season for both beginners and experienced cyclists. Whether for its difficulty, its weather or its extraordinary summit, Mont Ventoux is sure to impress.

Climbing Mont Ventoux is child’s play, but getting there is nothing short of heroic !

From 2025, the routes alternate each year, with a northern bypass or a southern bypass. In 2025, you will have the chance to bypass Mont Ventoux from the North, for the first time since 2020! Only one thing will not change: the climb via Sault for the mediofondo and via Bédoin for the Granfondo. Don’t touch the giant!
