The 2021 Haute Route Ventoux

Le Geant de Provence, de Kale Berg, the Giant of Provence are just a few of the names given to this iconic mountain. And now it’s your turn to conquer it, during the 3-day Haute Route Ventoux. With three ascents of legendary Mont Ventoux, some beautiful cols in its foothills, and the incomparable landscapes of French Provence, the fourth edition of the Haute Route Ventoux, promises three days of memorable cycling, from October 1st to 3rd 2021.

Each stage will start in Bédoin and finish with one of the three ascents of Mont Ventoux. Finishing atop the Géant de Provence, you will be able to collect your bag at the summit, prior to descending back into the French Provencal town of Bédoin for the services of the Haute Route village.

The Haute series of events are widely regarded as the pinnacle of amateur cycling experiences in Europe. The Haute Route Ventoux will be based in one place for 3 days, hugely simplifying logistics, and meaning you can stay in one hotel. this means you will no longer have to pack your bags before each stage and will be able to bring family and friends along as well.

Mild weather in early October makes the region around the Ventoux a highly attractive destination and Bédoin is easily accessible. With its accommodating schedule, (late arrivals on the Thursday and early finish on the Sunday) you will be able to travel to the event easily, for a long weekend of memorable cycling.

@broleurcc Once you've tried brand new Challenge tyres, all other clincher tyres are easy to fit in our opinion. Although once they are on (even if it takes several hours), it's always worth the effort.👌
