88km route for experienced riders through the Mont Ventoux region
This circular route through the Haute Vaucluse region takes you to the villages of the Vallee du Tourourenc that offer stunning views of the steep northern slopes of Mont Ventoux.
The Toulourenc Valley is full of cool fresh water creeks and springs thanks to the Toulourenc river which flows through it, great for a dip on hot summer bike ride! The route takes you through the villages of Saint-Leger, Brantes, perched high above the Toulourenc on a rocky outcrop and Savoillans, a picturesque village by the banks of the Toulourenc river.
From the starting point of Entrechaux you head towards the Pas du Ventoux before turning towards the Vallee du Tourourenc. This stunning road leads you up at a fairly steep gradient to the mountain top village of Saint Leger du Ventoux before you follow the river along to Brantes. This village is known for its artisanal roots and botanical circuit as well as the striking view it offers of the north face of Mont Ventoux.
The road continues again to climb from Brantes followed by a short descent to Savoillans. From this point the return route takes you on the 'Tour du Ventoux' through the villages of Reilhannette, Aurel, Sault, Flassan, Bédoin, Malaucène and finally back to Entrechaux.
