Description
The legendary Mont Ventoux, which rises to a height of 1,912 metres, is feared by cyclists. Rising above the Provence the top of the mountain has a lunar-like landscape. In clear weather, you have an exceptional 360-degree panorama over the entire Alps range, the Massif Central and the Cévennes, the lower Rhône Valley and Avignon, the Camargue, the Crau plain and even the Mediterranean Sea. Around the summit several interesting birds can be observed. Watch out for Змееяд, Сапсан, Беркут, Белоголовый сип, Чёрный стриж, Белобрюхий стриж, Каменка, Альпийская завирушка (in winter) Хрустан (mostly August and September), Альпийская галка (January to April), Белозобый дрозд (spring and autumn), Ворон, Лимонный вьюрок, Горная овсянка, Горихвостка-чернушка and Скальная ласточка.
