De Mont Ventoux: de berg voor fietsliefhebbers!

De Mont Ventoux, bijgenaamd ‘de reus van de Provence’ domineert (in positieve zin!) het uitzicht in de wijde omgeving. Waar je ook zit, overal zie je die kale puist met de toren van het Observatorium erbovenop. De top is de enige van deze hoogte (bijna 2000 meter) in deze regio en wordt daarom dan ook wel De reus van de Provence genoemd.

Mont_VentouxHet hoogteverschil met de voet van de berg bedraagt maar liefst 1614 meter. De berg is met name bekend door de moeilijkheidsgraad en vanwege het ‘kale maanlandschap’. Dit kale landschap leidt er onder andere toe dat er op de Mont Ventoux altijd een zeer sterke Mistral wind staat, die het beklimmen van de berg nog meer bemoeilijkt. In tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld de Alpe d’Huez, kent de Mont Ventoux bijna geen haarspelbochten op de top van de berg. Dit maakt de berg tot één van de favoriete beklimmingen onder fietsliefhebbers.
In de wijde omgeving zijn er geen bergen te bespeuren die tot aan zijn middel rijken, al kun je in de verte, bij helder weer, de besneeuwde toppen van de Alpen zien. Hoewel zelden in de Tour beklommen, is de Mont Ventoux één van de topcols in Frankrijk. De zwaarste kant start via Bédoin, al is volgens sommigen, de Malaucène-zijde minstens even zwaar. Oefenen kan vanaf Sault, veruit de minst zware kant.

De Mont Ventoux heeft iets magisch, wat natuurlijk mede gevoed is door de diverse gebeurtenissen die zich in het verleden op deze reusachtige berg afgespeeld hebben. Diverse renners hebben tijdens de Tour de France moeten afzien op deze berg en moeten strijden om de top te kunnen bereiken.

De machtige Mont Ventoux is gelegen op een perfecte locatie in de Provence, op slechts 40 km van Avignon. Een groot gedeelte van het jaar is het hier goed toeven met een gemiddelde temperatuur van 20 graden van mei tot en met oktober. Ook buiten deze periode kan het heel aangenaam zijn tijdens één van de 300 zondagen per jaar.

In the event you actually can accomplish that, I would surely end up being fascinated.

  44. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
