An itinerant hike that can be completed in 6 days with stages of 10 km/day, or in 3 to 4 days for the more athletic (~20 km/day).
A GR® de Pays to the summit of this mythical massif, from its Mediterranean foothills to its Alpine climate.

Description

Setting out from Sault, this hike takes you from the steep-sided Toulourenc valley to the summit of Mont Ventoux (1 909 m), between Provence and the Alps. The Plateau d’Albion, a limestone plateau dotted with sinkholes, an aquifer between Mont Ventoux and Montagne de Lure, offers a gentle descent back to Sault. A colourful, aromatic hike!
