This giant mountain of Provence can easily be distinguished by its peak covered with limestone and peaks at 1912 metres. Listed as an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this white mountain is characterized by the large variety of both its climate and its vegetation. The mount Ventoux boasts a wide palette of types of vegetation ranging from Mediterranean plants and beeches forests at the bottom to arctic plants at the peak.
The arrival at the peak is really magic! First, for its lunar aspect, but also for the exceptional panorama that you can have on fantastic sites, such as Luberon, the Nesque gorges, the Sainte-Victoire mountain and even on the Mediterranean coast in clear weather.
The mount Ventoux is also a location very appreciated by sporty types. Its ascent is famous as being challenging and constitutes a real challenge for numerous cyclists. In winter, when hillsides are covered by snow, skiing becomes possible in ski resorts such as Mont Serein and Chalet-Reynard.
