The Legendary Volcano in Provence, France

Click to view large map

This is one of the most famous climbs in cycling.

Ventoux means windy and the highest land wind speeds ever recorded were at the top of this extinct volcano.

The road surface is great and there are always loads of cyclists. Its a long very challenging ride but so satisfying.
