With this 66 km, 1183 m ascent loop, you embark on a magnificent itinerary where the passes give way only to fields of lavender and wheat. The Col d'Ey offers a remarkable view of Mont Ventoux.
Description
To reach the Ennuye valley, you'll first have to pass over the Col de Soubeyrand at an altitude of 990 m, the valley's only northern gateway. You'll then plunge into the mosaic of colors of this vast valley, once known as the "granary of the Baronnies" for its gently sloping hillsides, ideal for growing cereals. Today, the land is divided between pastures, apricot and cherry orchards and lavender fields. It's against this backdrop of a variety of crops that you'll head south to the Col d'Ey, where you'll find a remarkable view of Mont Ventoux (718 m alt.). The route then descends to Sainte-Jalle and its splendid 12th-century Romanesque church, before returning to the Eygues valley and up its gorges to the start of the loop: Rémuzat. Ideal season: June.
