Very difficult
Departure from Lafare (Vaucluse)
This route links various ridges around Lafare. The first part is the most difficult, as you’ll need to use your hands in various sections—some of which are exposed—and it even includes a section where you have to downclimb a horizontal slab, which can pose problems if you’re not familiar with basic climbing techniques. The second section consists of a series of steep slopes, both on the ascent and the descent. For the most part, the path is not signposted and you will need to use a GPS. The whole route requires a good level of fitness.

Difficult
Departure from Lafare (Vaucluse)
A circular route that seems fairly short but features steep slopes and sections that aren’t always easy to navigate, meaning you won’t be able to walk very quickly. It’s best to stick to this route, particularly for the first section, which is already difficult going uphill but becomes even more challenging if you have to climb back down.

Departure from Bédoin (Vaucluse)
Bédoin - Mont Ventoux is a legendary stage of the Tour de France cycling race. This hike provides more direct access to the summit, via paths that follow the ridges and valleys of the mountain's southern slope. At the beginning, the paths run through pretty woodland, which is magnificent in autumn. Towards the end, the paths cross the rocky landscape of light-coloured stones at the summit of the mountain. Along the way, you will come across "jas", mountain sheepfolds built from dry stone walls.
