Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
The route begins at the start pens heading east (away from the marina) and takes you immediately onto a false flat. Enjoy it while you can: it’s only going to get steeper!
The timed KOM begins 1.9km after the start. From here, you have 9.5km and 760m to the Ventoux Half KOM banner – exactly half the length (and almost exactly half the elevation) of the full Ventoux KOM.
As you climb, you’ll see road art. Some bits are more helpful/obvious than others:
Once you pass through the Ventoux Half KOM arch, your route is finished. You can stop there, but if you keep pedaling, you’ll keep climbing up Ventoux. You also have the option of turning left right after the KOM arch in order to make a hairpin turn and head downhill (free miles/XP).
