Mont Ventoux from Sault
Length
25.7 km
Elevation
1186 m
Gradient
4.6%
The longest route but the most forgiving. From Sault at 694m, the first 20km to Chalet Reynard average just 3.6%, winding through forest and open countryside. You can find a comfortable pace and actually look around.
Everything changes at Chalet Reynard where you join the Bedoin route for the final section. The gradient steepens, the trees are gone, and the wind and exposure hit the same way they do from every side. The easy start makes the finish feel harder than expected.
