Walking
Mont Ventoux is famous for its demanding cycling ascent and has featured many times in the Tour de France. You can also walk to the summit. Invite your walking group, club or training partner and experience an unforgettable climb through spectacular scenery.
Running
The 21-kilometre ascent is an exceptional challenge for experienced runners. Gradients vary from about 8% to 11% or even 12%, making the route extremely demanding—but reaching the summit makes every step worthwhile.
Cycling
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or an enthusiastic amateur, climbing this iconic mountain is an unforgettable test of endurance. Reaching the summit is a bucket-list achievement for many riders, and an off-road route is also available.
The programme
On Saturday, September 12th is the ascent, but already on Wednesday, September 9th all participants meet in the accommodation in Vaison-la-Romaine. On Wednesday evening, Thursday and Friday there is a program with excursions, training trips and joint meals on the schedule. But everyone also has enough free time to explore the area or do nothing at all. Tour de Pancreas ends with the challenging ascent to the top of the Mont Ventoux, a joint dinner in the evening and the announcement of the final amount.
