Overview of Mont Serein / Cap Ventoux Expériences

On the north face of Mont Ventoux (the Malaucene approach), the Mont Serein resort stands out for its preserved natural environment and a few mountain chalets built in the heart of the forest. The resort’s infrastructure, though modest, blends harmoniously into the landscape, offering visitors an authentic and immersive experience. In all seasons, it is a haven of peace — allowing an escape from the heat and bustle of the Rhone valley to find yourself in the mountains and in the heart of nature, less than an hour’s drive from Avignon and 1h30 from Montelimar. In summer, the resort is complemented by the Chalet Reynard summer area for downhill mountain biking.

Mont Serein / Cap Ventoux Expériences in summer

During the summer season, the Mont Serein is above all a world-renowned destination for cyclists. The ascent of Mont Ventoux from Bedoin is particularly iconic, with a 21 km route averaging 7.5% gradient and a positive elevation gain of 1,590 metres. Ascent times generally range from 1h30 for trained cyclists to 2h30 for amateurs. The Mont Serein resort is situated on the Malaucene approach — less mythical, but equally grandiose. Beyond cycling, the resort offers activities such as snow tubing, devalkart, tree-top adventure courses, horse and pony rides — providing leisure options for the whole family. The Chalet Reynard station (Mont Ventoux Sud) has a drag lift operating in summer for downhill mountain biking.
