A unique route

Piccolofondo, the ideal test

With an ascent of Mont Ventoux via Sault, the mediofondo allows you to reach the summit via the least demanding ascent, even though things are bound to get tougher from Charlet Reynard onwards.
However, whether it’s the difficulty, the weather or the unusual summit, Mont Ventoux will always 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 piccolofondo and the mediofondo and via Bédoin for the Granfondo. Don’t touch the giant!
