フォルカルキエの峠・トップ9

The Lure Mountains are a beautiful climb in the Vaucluse mountains. The climb is steady, covering 17.7 kilometers at an average gradient of 6%, all set against a stunning backdrop. The perfect blend of effort and contemplation.

The Ventoux's little brother. With a length of 17.7 kilometres and an ascent of 1054 vertical metres and a gradient of 5.9% on average, which implies a difficulty level of 688. The summit of the climb is located at 1746 metres above sea level. At the top the views are fabulous both towards Ventoux itself and towards the Alps. A long, very pleasant and fun climb that is worth the effort with percentages that remain around 5/6/7％ and some peaks of up to 9.3%. The last 2 kilometres are very easy.

Small but nice. When I drove in the wrong direction, it pulled the plug on me 😅

pass located at the crossroads of the Alpes de Haute Provence and the Drôme, at the top of the Jabron valley and at the foot of the Col du Négron.

The Montagne de Lure is a large mountain in the Vaucluse in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of France. It belongs to the same geological formation as the Albion plateau and Mont Ventoux. This chain extends over 42 kilometers and culminates in the Lure signal at 1,825 m and presents a very contrasting relief.

The Graille pass is probably the most famous pass in the Alps without even knowing it. So that? Because it is the obligatory step to reach the mountain of Lure. It is one of the first steps of the southern Alps. It is often compared to Mount Ventoux for its easily climbed, bald summit. Also well known to shepherds, the Pas de la Graille has been a path of transhumance since prehistoric times. The D53 connects Saint-Etienne-les-Orgues with Valbelle.

Mandatory climb in this region! Fantastic and calm

From Melve we have a superb panoramic view.
