Ascent and descent of Ventoux via Malaucène.

42km, 1600m. Positive elevation.
Course - Road and VTC.

The classic in our courses! Dare to challenge the mythical Mont Ventoux starting from Malaucène! You will discover a very nice climb with a more varied profile than on the South face, moments of high percentage and welcome moments of 'rest'. You will also have access to several viewpoints over the Comtat Venaissin plain, over the Rhône valley and over the Baronnies. Once you have passed the Mont Serein station, a last effort will take you to the summit and its magnificent 360° panorama. Then just let yourself go down, be careful because the descent is long and the effort will have tired you!
This tour is accessible with our electric hybrid bikes, respecting the instructions given at the start.

Ascent of Ventoux via Malaucène, descent via Bedoin.

54.5 Km, 1750m Ascent.
Course - Road and VTC.

A beautiful loop with ascent of Mont Ventoux on the Malaucène side and return via Bédoin. Same ascent as the previous route; once at the top, you follow the road down to chalet Reynard by the very rocky south face, then down to Bedoin. Be careful, the road is narrow and very busy with cyclists, motorbikes and cars. you will need to be very concentrated throughout the descent. Once in Bédoin you will take the road to Malaucène via the very beautiful balcony road of the Madeleine.
This tour is accessible with our electric hybrid bikes if you still have 30% battery at the top.
We strongly advise against doing this route in the opposite direction so as not to risk finding yourself without a battery and without the possibility of repatriation before the summit.
