Chalet Reynard

Highlight • Restaurant

Chalet Reynard is one of those essentials when you cycle up this mythical mountain. Many people stop at the chalet, in order to comfort themselves around a drink, or a meal before the final ascent of the last six kilometers which leads to the summit.

The last six kilometers after Chalet Reynard are the most legendary. The view is simply magnificent with its lunar landscape.

Mont Ventoux summit

Highlight • Summit

It is on the square in front of the old summit observatory that most of the cyclists who climb Mont Ventoux meet because the sign “summit of Mont Ventoux 1,912 meters” is there and all the climbers of the whole world wants to take the famous photo. There is sometimes a queue.

On this square are the Belvedere of Provence which offers views of the Albion plateau to the Mediterranean and the Belvedere of the Alps which opens onto the northern part. On a clear day, you can clearly see the department of Drôme, the Pre-Alps and the Alps.

By climbing slightly to the base of the antenna, you will be able to read below written on the ground, in large figures, the new official measurement of the Giant of Provence by the IGN: 1,910 meters.

Stele dedicated to Tom Simpson

Highlight • Monument

Every cycling fan knows the sad story of Tom Simpson, who officially heralded the sad story of doping in cycling: Simpson collapsed during the 1967 Tour de France due to heart failure. Later it was determined that he was pumped full of amphetamines and alcohol. At the point where he collapsed, there is a memorial stone, where many cyclists stop and leave something behind, for example a water bottle.

July 22, 2024, Mont Ventoux ⛰️🚲🌞😊

Today we went uphill ⛰️. It was supposed to be windy, but that was good because it didn't get so warm. The Mont Ventoux, from Sault, is easy to ride, only the last 3km hurt, but what can you do. Check mark ✅️

A fantastic tour: first, a "moderate" climb through the beautiful forest to the tree line, then directly into a lunar landscape with no shade and no significant climbs. The descent—especially through the forest—was unique. Just keep an eye out for cars and motorcycles.

Experiencing the most famous and notorious mountain in the Tour de France is an experience of a lifetime 🚴👍🥂

Today we went from Revest-du-Bion to Mont Ventoux ... the mountain is somehow a must have. After the lure, my second in total…. It went much better than expected.
