Jas du Pié Gros and Jas des Landérots

A new walk on the southern slope of Mont Ventoux offering beautiful views of the valley and surrounding mountains thanks to an ascent and descent on wide tracks or paths.
Along the way, you will pass two sheep pens, in varying states of repair, evidence of a declining pastoral tradition.

Description of the walk

Head to the hamlet of Sainte-Colombe, located 4 km from Bédoin on the D974 (the road that climbs to the summit of Mont Ventoux via Chalet Reynard).
Parking in this hamlet is available on the roadside opposite the restaurant.

Yellow markings
(S/E) Leave the car park and cross the road opposite the restaurant, then go down to the left for 50 metres. Turn right at the next street (Chemin des Fébriers et du Ventoux), which is just behind the restaurant.
Go around the cemetery and turn right onto the uphill path. Ignore all the paths on the right and left until you reach the Les Constants crossroads.

Red and white markings forthe GR®91
(1) Turn left towards La Combe d'Ansis on theGR®91. About 200 metres further on, at the La Combe d'Ansis marker, continue straight ahead on the same path towards Les Fébriers. Ignore the paths going uphill on the right.

(2) At the Les Fébriers signpost (small car park), continue straight ahead towards Les Colombets. Ignore the first path on the right, which will be the return route, and follow the second one. Turn left very quickly onto a path between the holm oaks. The path descends slightly along cherry trees, then climbs again and continues more or less flat. Ignore the paths on either side and stay on the main path until you reach the Les Colombets signpost (parking available).

(3) Continue straight ahead, following the direction of Grand Replanas. Once again, ignore all the paths going up or down on either side and stay on the main track. After crossing Chemin du Piémont, you will see small ochre quarries on the left, in front of Bédoin. Continue on and you will reach the Les Clops crossroads (parking available).

(4) Turn right and follow the second path towards Les Combarets, ignoring the one furthest to the right. The path turns into a trail and begins to climb to join the track at the Les Combarets signpost.

Yellow markings + orange markings
(5) Turn right and begin the long climb up the track towards Mazanet (6.3km). The climb is never very steep but may seem long and tedious for some. The reward is the view, as during the ascent you will discover horizons stretching as far as the sea if the weather is not too foggy. Pass cistern no. 257, which is two-thirds of the way up the climb. Reach the Mazanet marker just before a hairpin bend to the left.

Red and white markings forthe GR®91B
(6) Leave the track and turn right onto the stony path that descends towards Jas du Pié Gros. The path levels out and leads easily to the jas.

(7) Continue straight ahead towards Jas des Landérots, ignoring the path descending to the right. This is followed by a series of ascents, flat sections and very few descents (the route on the map is no longer up to date).
Just before the jas, ignore a path that descends to the right and arrive at Jas des Landérots (in poor condition) at a beautiful clearing.

Yellow markings
(8) Take the descent to the right towards Les Fébriers on a wide path. After 800m, continue on the main path which turns left and joins another crossroads.

(9) Follow the path straight ahead, leaving the main path turning left. Continue down the sometimes stony path for about 1.5km, then follow a path on the left which quickly leads to the car park at the Les Fébriers crossroads.

(2) Turn left and take the same path as on the way there to return to the car park (S/E).

Notes

Most of the route is on tracks or wide paths. This was a deliberate choice, as no other route south of Mont Ventoux offers such long views of the valley.

No water points along the route.

The 6 km climb along the forest track can be quite a struggle in summer. But the view is magnificent in fine weather and in the morning light.

Started at Les Clop.
A lovely walk over varied terrain.
Interesting passage near Les Jas. Admittedly in poor condition, but evidence of a different kind of agriculture.
It's nice to know that Ventoux is nearby and will be the subject of a future hike.

Hike done at the end of May 2020 (after Covid-19 lockdown), not many people (great), beautiful weather, pretty landscapes over the valley, a route that alternates between vegetation, undergrowth, climbs, descents, rocky areas, wide paths, narrower paths... Apart from the distance and a few climbs, no great difficulty. Hike completed in 4 hours 40 minutes, including photo breaks/rest stops/toilet breaks/meals
Thanks to Slinky.

A very good course for keeping fit, not particularly difficult. It's a shame there were too many hunters on Sunday.
Thanks again to the course designer.

A very beautiful hike with magnificent views and a wide variety of tree vegetation. Apart from the distance, this hike does not present any particular difficulties. I highly recommend this hike, especially to visitors to our region in the summer.
Thanks to Slinky and visorando.
