Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Mont Ventoux Ascent from Sault

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Mont Ventoux from Sault is the easiest of the three access points to the Reynard Chalet. To the summit, the climb is 25.50 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,145 meters. The average gradient is 4.49%.

From Sault to the Reynard Chalet, the climb is 17.4 kilometers with an elevation gain of 705 meters. The average gradient is 4%.

If you're going to attempt to climb all three sides of Mont Ventoux in one day, then this is the slope to tackle last.

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.

Eigentlich hatten wir nach unserem 600 Kilometer- Brevet im Oktober 21 ja geplant, am nächsten Tag noch auf den Mont Ventoux zu fahren, allerdings waren wir da dann so dermaßen matschig, dass wir die Räder zwar hochgefahren haben, allerdings auf dem Radträger von Jumpy.
