UPDATE
It’s been a challenging time for many, but we’re as committed as ever to providing an experience where our riders can focus on what matters most. That’s why we’ve implemented some new measures to help keep you safe while you spin your way to Haute Route glory.
Catch up with Tristan Cousin, Head of Operations for Haute Route, and our CEO, Julie Royer Coutts, about the new safety measures below.
Some riders thrive on knowing the minute details of the route ahead, while others live for the thrill of the unknown. Get to know what’s ahead of you at for the
Haute Route Ventoux.
STAGE 1
With an easy start from Bédoin, passing through the charming villages of Provence on small roads with little traffic to take on arguably the toughest side of Mont Ventoux, Stage One of the Haute Route Ventoux has it all. Over 118km you’ll climb 3100m for the first of three memorable Mont Ventoux finishes for the weekend.
A couple of things to consider in the lead up to the event
ACCOMMODATION
The Haute Route offers various optional accommodation packages, including breakfast and late check out. There are various packages available, from standard to premium options. Availability is now limited for the Haute Route Ventoux, with some packages already sold out. Visit the “practical information” page or contact the support team to find out more.
AIRPORT SHUTTLE
Have you considered how you will get from the airport to the Event Village? If you are flying into Marseille Airport (the nearest airport to Ventoux) then you can book onto one of our airport shuttles. The shuttle costs 32.50 euros one way and can be booked via the configurator.
Designed for the most challenging rides, your new Haute Route 3-Day Jersey by Le Col is the ultimate badge of honour. You'll receive your new favourite piece of kit on registration day.

As cyclists, looking after the environment that allows us to enjoy our passion for riding in the mountains is a high priority.
