Ventoux from the south: forests and rocks
This is an easy hike through beautiful forest landscapes and splendid trees. It is followed by a steep climb to join the GR® trail and go around the summit. The descent is pleasant, through scree slopes, with splendid views. Although difficult, this hike allows you to explore the "giant of Provence" with its varied landscapes depending on the season.
Mont Ventoux, north and south slopes
While the southern slope of Mont Ventoux and the ridge trail are well known, the northern slope is less frequented but just as beautiful, with its alternating forests, scree slopes and avalanche couloirs. With a bit of luck, you may even spot some chamois.

From Bédoin to Mont Ventoux
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.
From Saint-Auban-sur-l'Ouvèze to Izon-la-Bruisse via the summit of Chamouse
This is the first stage of a three-day circuit on the ridges of the Méouge and Ouvèze rivers. Between heaven and earth, this is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges. Throughout the day, there are fantastic views of the Ouvèze valley, the Provençal peaks such as Lure and Ventoux, and then the Southern Alps. This is a wild route, far from everything, ending in the equally wild micro-village of Izon-la-Bruisse.
