The Radome of Mont Ventoux

Highlight • Other

The mountain is most famous for the cycling races that have taken place here, especially the Tour de France. The steep slopes, the level of difficulty and the barren 'moon landscape' and the often strong wind on the mountain make the climb a real challenge. We have been camping at Malaucéne for years, a beautiful small campsite, within 5 km you can reach the Ventoux.

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.

Pass of Storms

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The storm pass is one of the last bends of the final ascent. We discover a magnificent view and very close is the memorial dedicated to Tom Simpson who died July 13, 1967 during the Tour de France of that year.

Stele dedicated to Tom Simpson

Highlight • Monument

Every cycling fan knows the sad story of Tom Simpson, who officially heralded the sad story of doping in cycling: Simpson collapsed during the 1967 Tour de France due to heart failure. Later it was determined that he was pumped full of amphetamines and alcohol. At the point where he collapsed, there is a memorial stone, where many cyclists stop and leave something behind, for example a water bottle.

Chalet Reynard

Highlight • Restaurant

Chalet Reynard is one of those essentials when you cycle up this mythical mountain. Many people stop at the chalet, in order to comfort themselves around a drink, or a meal before the final ascent of the last six kilometers which leads to the summit.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The last six kilometers after Chalet Reynard are the most legendary. The view is simply magnificent with its lunar landscape.
