95km - 2200m ascent.
We embark on our first challenge with the ascent of Mont Ventoux via Malaucène, a slightly irregular yet challenging climb. We cruise down to Sault for lunch with a view and return to base via the stunning Gorges du Toulourenc. The support vehicle will be close by, ensuring you’re well-fuelled throughout the day.
65km - 1800m ascent.
Today, we pedal in the shadow of the greats, climbing the classic Tour de France route from Bédoin to the summit. The ascent begins under fragrant pine trees before taking on the famous final 6km from Chalet Reynard. Our team will be happy to provide technical tips to tackle the twisting descent with speed and confidence before a well-deserved coffee in Malaucène.
85km - 2100m ascent.
Our final ascent starts with the gently-rising, absolutely-stunning Gorges de la Nesque before ascending the Giant from Sault, known for its beautiful lavender fields and slightly “easier” approach to the top. Celebrate your achievement with a triumphant descent into Bédoin, followed by a special celebratory dinner to cap off an unforgettable journey.
