Montagne de Lure Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of the 2 giants of Provence. Just as beautiful as Ventoux without the horde of cars going up there. The climb is nevertheless much less difficult than the Ventoux.

This pass is amazing. Its climb is easy but very long when you start climbing from the village of Revest-du-Bion. The other side of the pass, which goes towards the Jabron valley and the Omergues, has much steeper slopes.

Departure from Sault to climb the Montagne de Lure. The descent on the north slope really hurt my hands, the asphalt is very grainy. Then continue through the Jabron valley and the Macuègne pass for a return via Montbrun and Aurel.
Beautiful day of cycling 😁🌞
