Grande Traversée du Vaucluse en VTTAE
A collection of 12 cycling routes.
Overview
About this collection
A great VTTAE crossing through the Vaucluse, perfect if you like alternating trails, paths, and a bit of asphalt. The route links forests, vineyards, garrigue, and Provençal villages where you can take breaks (and recharge if needed). The terrain is playful: nice climbs, long descents, and some more technical sections on rocks or singletrack. Overall, it's mostly off-road, with connections on quiet roads when necessary.
To be ridden over several days, choosing stages around local towns and campsites. Spring and autumn are ideal: mild temperatures, beautiful light. In summer, expect heat and, some days, the mistral.
Quick tips:
- Manage your batteries well (eco mode as much as possible, recharge whenever you can).
- Water and supplies: there are regularly shops, but anticipate wild sections.
- Strong tires and good brakes: there is elevation gain and rocks.
- Be courteous on the trails and respect sensitive areas.
In short, a great VTTAE adventure in the heart of Provence, with plenty of trails and gravel, varied landscapes, and villages perfect for looking up from the handlebars.
