Park at the Chalet Liotard car park.
(S/E) Set off along the road leading up to the summit. You will reach a hairpin bend with a barrier blocking the road.
(1) Leave the road and take the track opposite, the Tête du Chauva track, to the signpost for Le Casséu.
(2) Leave the track and turn left towards the east and the summit. Continue along a long, unmarked section through the forest; it is not very intuitive, but numerous cairns help you stay on course.
Take care in this section as there are technical sections: significant elevation gain and numerous rocks and crevasses. Exercise extreme caution in snowy conditions, as the crevasses are buried. Numerous snowdrifts.
Suitable equipment is essential, particularly boots, snowshoes and poles.
Avoid in strong winds. The forest section remains sheltered but the ridge is very exposed.
Continue eastwards. Reach the paragliding launch site.
(3) Continue past the radar to reach the penultimate hairpin bend before the summit.
(4) Leave the road and take the path running parallel to the right of the road that climbs to the chapel and then to the summit of Mont Ventoux. Enjoy the summit and its views over the southern slopes and the eastern ridge.
(5) Depending on traffic conditions (whether the road is open or not) and snow cover, descend via the road, which is very pleasant in winter when there is heavy snow. Return to the hairpin bend you passed earlier.
(4) Keep to the right on the road and continue the descent. Follow a long path to return to the initial crossroads passed on the way up.
(1) Follow the same route as on the way up to return to the Chalet Liotard car park (S/E).
