Ventoux 2021

A course steeped in cycling history

The Haute Route Ventoux gives you the opportunity to explore all three sides of the “Giant of Provence”, as well as quiet, rolling country roads along its base. Almost the entire course is timed, and all three stages finish up a different side of Mont Ventoux.

Going Compact

The Compact course for Ventoux features fewer kilometres (90-100km) and less elevation gain (1700-2100m+) per stage. Around 30% shorter than the original course, this format is a challenging, fun, and authentic way for riders to get a taste of the Haute Route experience, including an ascent to the summit of Mont Ventoux on Stage 3 via the famous Tour de France route. The entire course is timed, and you’ll experience the thrill of climbing to a professional summit finish line.

A unique atmosphere

Devote a weekend to pure enjoyment of Provencal cycling with an eclectic peloton of supportive, amicable, and positive fellow cyclists. Scheduled near the end of the season, the atmosphere on the Ventoux is often more relaxed and laid-back. Historically, this event has among the highest female participation of any European Haute Route event.
