On the trails of Mont Ventoux
With its 26 km, this introductory course is the perfect first adventure to discover the trails of Mont Ventoux — blending effort, wonder, and immersion in wild nature — capturing the very essence of the Grand Raid Ventoux by UTMB.
Starting from Malaucène, at the foot of the Ventoux, the route follows the first few kilometers of the legendary road to the summit. You'll pass through the natural site of Le Groseau, then Saint-Sidoine Chapel, before reaching a stunning viewpoint above the Rochers de Rams, offering exceptional panoramas.
The descent takes you past Piaud Chapel and its historic Way of the Cross, leading to the Col de la Chaîne, where one last spectacular view of the Dentelles de Montmirail awaits — before a triumphant finish in Malaucène, at the foot of the Giant of Provence.
