It is one of the oldest ski stations in France, where one has been skiing since the 1930s.
On the northern side of the Mont Ventoux, harsh and alpine-like, you will find very steep areas, where the altitude can drop by 1500 metres within just 3 kilometres.
It's on this slope, with its many coombs, that you will find the Mont Serein and its ski station at 1400-1800 metres, snow-covered during winter, accessible from Malaucène located in the Haut Vaucluse.

Precautions to take before setting off on the ascent of the Mont Ventoux :
Do not climb when the summit is in the clouds; the best, anyway, is to choose a clear day, because the unobstructed views are fantastic.
You also should think about the changes in temperature; with the wind, it can become very cold.
Remember to take warm clothing and wind-breakers
