Villa Vintour
From breakfast to the climb without a car transfer
Malaucène is one of the three best-known starting points for climbing Mont Ventoux. From Villa Vintour, ride into the village and begin the roughly 21-kilometre ascent towards the summit.
The villa follows the rhythm of a cycling group: space to eat together, three bathrooms, air-conditioned bedrooms and a lockable room for bikes and equipment.

01
The ascent from Malaucène
The western route up Mont Ventoux alternates forest, sustained steep sections and open mountain scenery. Start early on hot days and always check wind and weather conditions at the summit.
For an easier day, rolling routes around Malaucène provide plenty of riding without another summit attempt. Groups with mixed abilities can build different days from the same base.
02
Everything before and after the ride nearby
Bakeries, cafés, restaurants and a supermarket are within walking distance. Pick up an early breakfast, refill supplies or finish the day on a terrace in town.
Back at the villa, bikes go safely indoors while the group uses the pool, barbecue and generous dining table under the covered terrace.
