Mont Serein

Mont Serein is a mountain summit reaching 1437 meters on the northern slope of Mont Ventoux, composed of limestone formations. The terrain is crossed by extensive hiking trails offering various difficulty levels.

Development as a recreational site began in the late 1920s through the efforts of writer and alpinist Pierre de Champeville. His initiative laid the foundation for the location's current use as a leisure destination.

The name Mont Serein refers to the clear, serene conditions found at this elevation. Visitors can explore regional plants and rock formations along marked paths, experiencing a direct connection to the local natural environment.

The area is most easily reached on foot, with various starting points around the mountain's base. The best time for hiking is between spring and fall, when the trails are in good condition and weather remains stable.

During summer months, the location becomes a hub for alternative mountain activities such as grass skiing and paragliding. These seasonal offerings use the open slopes at high elevation in unexpected ways.
