Overview
Haute Route will not be running a Ventoux event in 2022. Check back in late summer to get dates for 2023.
There are many ways for amateur cyclists to experience the glory of Mont Ventoux, but only one way for them to experience it like a pro: Haute Route Ventoux 2021. Part of a growing series of 3-day sportives, Haute Route Ventoux delivers all of the same high quality organization and service as the traditional 7-day events, but in a compact three-day racing format based in one location. Each stage will include one of the three different climbs to the summit.
44|5 Cycling Tours’ 2021 Haute Route Ventoux package will help ensure you make the most of your racing experience over the 270 km of riding and 7900 meters of climbing. The mountain and surrounding area have been our riding playground for over 10 years, so we can share our expert knowledge of roads, weather and race strategies with you. We’ve ridden all three roads to the summit a countless number of times and know every bit of road you will be racing on in October.
Lodged in our provençal chambres d’hôtes, just minutes down the road from the start village of Bédoin, you’ll have all the necessary conveniences on hand. Comfortable rooms, relaxing indoor and outdoor spaces, and cyclist-friendly meals mean all you have to do is focus on the riding.
Our 4-night package allows you a little extra time to acclimate before the race, and then celebrate your achievements with the group after the last stage on Sunday night. Given the generally excellent weather in Provence in early October, some riders may even consider bringing non-riding spouses or friends, as our farmhouse is an excellent base from which to discover the heart of Provence.
Note: There is a ‘compact’ version of Haute Route Ventoux with around 30% less distance and climbing, making it more accessible. Of course we happily accept Compact riders as well!

Day to Day
Accommodation
Maison Sule
Former residence of one of Napoleon’s generals, this large, stately house sits regally on the main street of the village of Malaucène, one of the two main Ventoux cycling centers. The house is spacious and comfortable and the back garden, quiet and calm. Haute Route riders are perfectly situated, since Maison Sule is right at the foot of the northern climb of Mont Ventoux. An exhilarating 22 km descent after each stage and you’re home!
