About This Route
The "giant of Provence" climbs from Bédoin through 21 km of forest to the Chalet Reynard, where the trees disappear and the white stone landscape begins, up to the observatory at 1,909 m. From the top you can see from the Alps to the Mediterranean. The wind can be very strong; the descent to Malaucène is fast with good tarmac.
