"Le Mont Ventoux Challenge and Beautiful Surrounding Provence" — Native Planet Adventures Custom Private Cycling Tour

Ride the legendary mountain stages of the Tour de France and many more secret climbs to help raise funds for Native Planet!

This tour is highly modular allowing cyclists of very different levels to participate together. Day 3 and 4 offer reasonably short distances allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of Provence but those who desire may opt to add another climb of Mt Ventoux at the end of these days. See the Optional Climbs table to view the additional and total distances and elevations.

Distance and elevation:

  Distance

Day 1  Optional  
Day 2  27  5,279
Day 3  27  2,198
Day 4  42  4,836
Day 5  68  4,554
Total  164  16,867

Optional Climbs:

If you want to challenge Mt. Ventoux more than once in a day, a second climb will bring your total elevation gain to over 10,000 feet over a mere 53 miles and a third climb gains 14,668 ft in only 82 miles. If you haven't pushed on Day 2, you may want to climb Mt Ventoux from Vaison on Day 3. On Day 3, you may want to climb it from Sault. If you have climbed all three sides in one day, you will probably be delighted with the shorter distances and elevation gains of Days 3 and 4.
