Beaumont-du-Ventoux Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Located in Provence, Mont Ventoux is one of the most famous climbs used in the Tour de France. With a summit at 1911m above sea level it also offers an epic challenge to any cyclist. There are three routes to the top: from Bedoin, from Sault or from Malaucene. The famous 'moonscape' opens out approximately 6km from the summit, the wind and lack of protection making for some tough riding conditions . Although a summit selfie is obligatory after such an epic achievement, this view gives a distinct sense of how far you've come. The wagon selling cookies and treats at the height of the season is an added bonus!

View of Mont Ventoux from our terrace looking West
I went to Mont Ventoux a year after the Tour de France used it on their route, but you could still admire the graffiti on the road! The lower slopes are wooded, but half way up you arrive to a barren moonscape - according to the car temperature gauge it was 10 degrees at the foot of the hill and -4 by the time we got half way up.

The room was clean. Our air conditioning did not work. I think the front desk controls the air as it said it was on and we could not control it. The room faced a quaint courtyard.
