Conquering Mont Ventoux’s trails
The Grand Raid Ventoux 100K is 87 kilometers of effort and wonder—a unique journey through wild gorges, airy ridgelines, and the legendary summit of the Giant of Provence.
Starting in Malaucène, the route winds through Le Groseau, Saint-Sidoine Chapel, Pic du Comte, and La Crête de la Plate, offering spectacular views over the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Baronnies, and the Toulourenc Valley.
You'll then explore the Toulourenc Gorges from Entrechaux to the hamlet of Veaux, before tackling the iconic ascent to the legendary summit of Mont Ventoux—the highlight of the race. The descent takes you through the Ventoux’s famous rock fields and past cultural treasures like Piaud Chapel, before reaching the Col de la Chaîne, offering one last iconic view of the Dentelles. Finally, a triumphant finish awaits back in Malaucène, at the foot of the Giant of Provence.
