Hotels in Mont Ventoux, France

Mont Ventoux towers over Provence in southeastern France, famous for its barren limestone summit and brutal cycling climb. Summers are hot and dry, perfect for tackling the 21-kilometer ascent from Bédoin or hiking the 'Géant de Provence,' while winters bring snow and temperatures often below freezing (around 32°F or 0°C), drawing skiers to Mont Serein for family-friendly slopes. For the best experience, visit in June to catch the lavender fields in full bloom or in January for quiet trails and cheaper lift tickets.
