Explore Mont Ventoux

At 1,910 meters above sea level, Mont Ventoux is the highest point in the entire region and offers unobstructed views all the way to the Mediterranean Sea when the weather is clear. You can drive to the summit, but if you’re looking for an active camping trip, don’t hesitate tobike up themountain or explore its slopes on foot or on horseback along the hiking trails! In winter, the road is closed to vehicles and can only be accessed on skis, snowshoes, or a fatbike. At Mont Serein, a small resort lets you ski down the slopes of the “Giant of Provence” on alpine skis.

While Mont Ventoux is undeniably a major attraction, take advantage of your rental stay in the Vaucluse to also explore the Toulourenc Gorges or, on the opposite side, the Nesque Gorges. An unmissable highlight near Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail rise to the west, just a one-hour drive from its summit. This unique landscape of sheer cliffs— a paradise for climbers and hikers, as well as wine lovers—reveals a series of rock spires, arches, and rock formations that you’ll never tire of admiring from your 1- to 5-star campground. To explore the other major sites in the Vaucluse, Orange, Vaison-la-Romaine, and Avignon are all within easy driving distance.
