Mont Ventoux (1,910 m), nicknamed the Giant of Provence, is a rare and exceptional snowkite spot in southern France. Located in the Vaucluse department, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, this legendary summit offers a unique playground for experienced snowkiters. The main riding area is above Chalet Reynard (1,440 m), on the south face, riding along the ridge towards the summit. The terrain consists of open slopes with very little vegetation above 1,500 m, offering the moon-like landscape characteristic of the summit. Ventoux holds the French wind speed record with gusts measured at 320 km/h. On the ridge, wind is extremely powerful with a huge differential between the base and the top. It's common to launch a 6.5 m² kite at Chalet Reynard level while even that size becomes overpowered just 50 meters higher on the ridge. Warning: this spot is for experienced riders who have full control in strong wind conditions and on slopes. The section below the summit along the ridge is very exposed with only 2-3 m of margin downwind before the slope and the road below.
