Tips from locals
Mountain 1909 m, called 'Le Géant de Provence'. Very popular for cycling, starting from Bedoin or Malaucène (30min. drive)
One of the symbols of Provence and a famous stage on the Tour de France bicycle race. The mountain culminates at 1912 meters (6273 ft).
Cycling You don't have to go this far but this is a very famous route on the Tour de France. It is also a killer to cycle up unless you are very serious and in form. There are plenty of delightful routes without the same stress. Just going from Lagrand to Laborel or Montjay is a pleasant quiet ride that does need some effort
