The view from the top is truly magnificent, especially if a Mistral has cleared the air. From the northeastern lookout alone you can see most of the Alps, including the Vercors, Chaine de Belledonne, Mont Blanc, the Ecrins, the Queyras and the Mercantour . If you are going to the top of Mont Ventoux during a Mistral, or any time other than the middle of summer, a good windbreaker and gloves will be appreciated. The first few km are across rolling fields of lavender, although tall yellow-black poles mark the road for winter snows. The entire road is 2-cars wide and well paved.
Trails run in all directions, following ridges and valleys and crossing through innumerable forests.
The views from near the top are fantastic, and the scenic beauty of the region is outstanding. The last 4 km up the ridge is barren and exposed, and the trail is marked by long rows of tall red and blue poles. Towards the eastern end of the ridge, the GR4 drops south to go down through the forests to Sault.
