Experienced cyclists won’t want to miss the chance to tackle the 1912m high Mont Ventoux. The three classic starting points (Malaucene, Bedoin, and Sault) are respectively just 30, 37 and 63 km from La Genestière. Road bikers will also want to ride the Gorges de la Nesque, and the Toulourenc Valley. Mountain bikers will want to try biking on the trails of Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Luberon. And extreme mountain bikers might want to get their thrills from completing parts of or the whole 232 kilometers of the Vaucluse Long Distance Mountain Bike Trail. Yet the local cycling isn’t just for ‘sportifs’. There are many relaxing 10-20 kilometre trips through the vineyards or on paths filled with the scent of thyme, bay leaves or rosemary – some starting from the La Genestière.
