Mont Ventoux / Col de la Madeleine

Col de la Madeleine

Length
1.9 km
Elevation
63 m
Gradient
3.4%

A gentle roller between Bedoin and Malaucene that never gets steep. The road is narrow, quiet, and mostly through forest with barely any traffic. It's more of a connecting road than a proper climb, but it's pleasant riding and useful for linking the two towns without going over the top of Ventoux.

Works well as part of a Ventoux loop or as an easy opener to shake out the legs.
