Mont-Ventoux, which peaks at 1912 meters, is a legendary mountain respected by poets, feared by cyclists, and long observed by scientists. The 'Giant of Provence' and its majestic silhouette, overlooking much of Provence, is a source of fascination. Whether you go on foot, horseback, bikes, or even by car - there are many ways to discover this beautiful natural environment. The natural wealth of life here has also been recognised by UNESCO, which has ranked Mont-Ventoux a 'Biosphere reserve', in order to gain economic development and protection of this unique site. The Mont Ventoux forests are visited all year long, with the presence of hikers, shepherds, hunters, athletes, scientists, loggers, and even mushroom hunters. In winter, there’s downhill or cross-country skiing and show-shoeing at the two well-equipped resorts of Chalet Reynard and Mont Serein. In summer, time for mountain activities with hiking, mountain-biking, or downhill bob-luge karting on the grassy ski slopes, Bike Park on the south face (Chalet Reynard). Hotels, campsites, overnight hiking halts and cabins are all there for your mountain stay. There’s a restaurant and crepe shop as well, where you can enjoy a hearty mountain meal or hot chocolate in winter, and a cool beverage in summer, while you’re admiring the fantastic view over the Vaucluse and peaks. Take a deep breath, you’re up on the rooftop of Provence!
