Compare regions and find your perfect cycling destination
Informed by data, riding experience and local expertise
Our guides combine structured cycling data, research and our own riding experience to help you compare regions. For the best local advice, we recommend speaking with local experts, tour providers and tourism agencies who know the region best.
Ventoux-anchored climbing region combining Europe's most iconic standalone summit with supporting plateau, hill, coastal, and extension high-col terrain across southern France.
Primary Ventoux base village at the foot of the south face. The standard and most demanding Ventoux ascent begins here. Benchmark base for Ventoux-focused training camps.
North face Ventoux base. Access to the northern approach — comparable length and gradient to Bédoin but different character. Suits riders targeting both Ventoux faces in a single camp.
Plateau base for the eastern Ventoux approach via Chalet Reynard. Gentler gradient than Bédoin or Malaucène — the longest of the three main routes. Access to Luberon roads and high plateau endurance terrain.
Luberon valley base with access to rolling Luberon plateau roads and Ventoux via the Sault approach. More varied terrain than Ventoux-specific bases — better for riders wanting a mixed endurance week.
Eastern Luberon base with access to the plateau roads and Durance valley circuits. Flatter immediate surrounds suited to endurance training days and tempo work.
Luberon plateau town with rolling roads in multiple directions. Positioned for quiet agricultural riding and Luberon climbs without the Ventoux proximity of western bases.
