The cyclists have three options:
•Kale Berg Route: where you climb Mont Ventoux once from the Malaucène side.
•Master of the Kale Berg Route: where you climb Mont Ventoux twice, once from Bedoin (starting from Malaucène) and once from the Malaucène side.

The runners and hikers will conquer the mountain once. (Trale Kale Berg)
After reaching the mountaintop, you'll be taken back down by shuttle buses,where you will then walk the last 2 kilometers on foot to the finish line at Village du Départ in Malaucène.
